「……使我……曉得他復活的大能，並且曉得和他一同受苦……」（10節）

經文
腓立比書三1-14

1弟兄們，我還有話說，你們要靠主喜樂。我把這話再寫給你們，於我並不為難，於你們卻是妥當。

2應當防備犬類，防備作惡的，防備妄自行割的。

3因為真受割禮的，乃是我們這以神的靈敬拜、在基督耶穌裡誇口、不靠著肉體的。

4其實，我也可以靠肉體；若是別人想他可以靠肉體，我更可以靠著了。

5我第八天受割禮；我是以色列族、便雅憫支派的人，是希伯來人所生的希伯來人。就律法說，我是法利賽人；

6就熱心說，我是逼迫教會的；就律法上的義說，我是無可指摘的。

7只是我先前以為與我有益的，我現在因基督都當作有損的。

8不但如此，我也將萬事當作有損的，因我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶。我為他已經丟棄萬事，看作糞土，為要得著基督；

9並且得以在他裡面，不是有自己因律法而得的義，乃是有信基督的義，就是因信神而來的義，

10使我認識基督，曉得他復活的大能，並且曉得和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

11或者我也得以從死裡復活。

12這不是說我已經得著了，已經完全了；我乃是竭力追求，或者可以得著基督耶穌所以得著我的（或作：所要我得的）。

13弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經得著了；我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，

14向著標竿直跑，要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。

"...that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings..." (v.10, RSV)

Bible reading:
Philippians 3:1-14

1 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh.

3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;

6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, 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 is through faith in[a] Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
