The Source of Righteousness
Philippians 3:4-9 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that
he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of
Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law,
found blameless. However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ. Yes most certainly, and I count all things
to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing
but refuse, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith (Emphasis Mine)
