Phil 3:7-9
7 The very credentials these people are waving around as
something special, I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash — along with
everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. 8 Yes,
all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared
to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand,
everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant — dog dung. I've
dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ 9 and be embraced by
him. I didn't want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from
keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from
trusting Christ — God's righteousness.
