「使我认识基督，晓得他复活的大能……」（10节）

经文
腓立比书三7-21

7只是我先前以为与我有益的，我现在因基督都当作有损的。

8不但如此，我也将万事当作有损的，因我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝。我为他已经丢弃万事，看作粪土，为要得着基督；

9并且得以在他里面，不是有自己因律法而得的义，乃是有信基督的义，就是因信神而来的义，

10使我认识基督，晓得他复活的大能，并且晓得和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

11或者我也得以从死里复活。

12这不是说我已经得着了，已经完全了；我乃是竭力追求，或者可以得着基督耶稣所以得着我的（或作：所要我得的）。

13弟兄们，我不是以为自己已经得着了；我只有一件事，就是忘记背后，努力面前的，

14向着标竿直跑，要得神在基督耶稣里从上面召我来得的奖赏。

15所以我们中间，凡是完全人总要存这样的心；若在甚么事上存别样的心，神也必以此指示你们。

16然而，我们到了甚么地步，就当照着甚么地步行。

17弟兄们，你们要一同效法我，也当留意看那些照我们榜样行的人。

18因为有许多人行事是基督十字架的仇敌。我屡次告诉你们，现在又流泪的告诉你们：

19他们的结局就是沉沦；他们的神就是自己的肚腹。他们以自己的羞辱为荣耀，专以地上的事为念。

20我们却是天上的国民，并且等候救主，就是主耶稣基督从天上降临。

21他要按着那能叫万有归服自己的大能，将我们这卑贱的身体改变形状，和他自己荣耀的身体相似。

"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection..." (v.10)

Bible reading:
Philippians 3:7-21

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.

15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.

16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

17 Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.

18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

19 Their destiny is destructionn, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.

20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
