But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. (8) Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ (9) and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-- (10) that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, (11) that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

That precious righteousness that come through You, my Lord, and is laid out before me in all its exquisite beauty in the Law. Not to be fulfilled through my own efforts but through Your redemption, purifying me for the Kingdom of God and instructing me in Kingdom living through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
