Philippians 3:7-9 Part 2 of 2

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 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 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 

I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 
Psalm 73:25  Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law 
Philippians 3:6  ... as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless. 
Romans 10:5  Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them." (Leviticus 18:5)

the righteousness that comes from God 
Jeremiah 33:16  " 'In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior.' " 

on the basis of faith 
Romans 9:30-33  What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame." (Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)
