  1. Luke 14:33 Or renounce

But (A)whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss [a]in view of the surpassing value of [b](B)knowing (C)Christ Jesus my Lord, [c]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having (D)a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, (E)the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may (F)know Him and (G)the power of His resurrection and [d](H)the fellowship of His sufferings, being (I)conformed to His death; 11 if somehow I may (J)attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already [e](K)grasped it all or have already (L)become perfect, but I press on if I may also (M)take hold of that [f]for which I (N)was even taken hold of by (O)Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: (P)forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I (Q)press on toward the goal for the prize of the (R)upward call of God in (S)Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore, all who are [g](T)mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a (U)different attitude, (V)God will reveal that to you as well; 16 however, let’s keep [h](W)living by that same standard to which we have attained.

17 Brothers and sisters, (X)join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the (Y)pattern you have in us. 18 For (Z)many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I (AA)weep, that they are the enemies of (AB)the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [i](AC)appetite, and whose (AD)glory is in their shame, who (AE)have their minds on earthly things. 20 For (AF)our [j]citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly (AG)wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will (AH)transform the body of our lowly condition into (AI)conformity with [k]His (AJ)glorious body, (AK)by the exertion of the power that He has even to (AL)subject all things to Himself.
