Philippians 3:10-14

¹⁰I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself.i

¹¹If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.j

¹²I''m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me.k

¹³Friends, don''t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I''ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward--to Jesus.l

¹⁴I''m off and running, and I''m not turning back.m
