7} But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. ^{Tools
8} More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value^(A) of knowing Christ^(B) Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ^(C) ^{Tools
9} and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law,^(D) but one that is through faith in Christ^(a)—the righteousness from God based on faith.^(E)
