Phl 3:7 But what things (ἀλλ᾽ ἅτινα) were (ἦν)
to/for me/resting at me gain (ἦν
μοι κέρδη), those
things (ταῦτα) I have counted
and still do (ἥγημαι, perfect tense)
through-toward/into the Christ (
διὰ τὸν Χριστὸν, dia + acc.) loss (ζημίαν).
But whatever things were gain to me, those, since coming into Christ in order to go through Him to the Father, have I reckoned were loss.
To be continued....
Oh! I lost all the colour formating by cutting and pasting this second half. I will re-colour it and post it again later, But this may serve to give the gist.
Phl 3:8 Yea doubtless (ἀλλὰ μενοῦνγε), I am also reckoning (καὶ ἡγοῦμαι, present deponent) all things (πάντα) to be loss (ζημίαν εἶναι) through-toward (dia + acc.) the excellency (διὰ τὸ ὑπερέχον) of the knowledge (τῆς γνώσεως) of Christ Jesus (Χριστοῦ Ἰησοu, anarthrous Christou IEsou) the Lord of me (τοῦ κυρίου μου): through-toward whom (δι᾽ ὃν) the all
things (τὰ πάντα) I was plundered of (ἐζημιώθην, aorist passive), and I am reckoning (καὶ ἡγοῦμαι. present middle deponent)
them dung/offal (σκύβαλα) to be (εἶναι, present infinitive), so that ( ἵνα)
what is characteristic of Christ (Χριστὸν, anarthrous Christou) I might ultimately win/gain (κερδήσω, aorist subjunctive).
Yea without a doubt, I am also reckoning all things to be loss, through coming into the excellency of knowing that which characterises Christ Jesus, who is my Lord, in order to get to know the Father. Through coming into Him to get to the Father, I was ruined for all the things I used to value and I am now reckoning to be offal, in order that I might possibly gain, in the end, those things that characterise Christ.
Phl 3:9 And I be found (καὶ εὑρεθῶ, aorist passive subjunctive) positioned-at-rest-in-him (ἐν αὐτῷ, en + dat.), not having (μὴ ἔχων) mine own (ἐμὴν) righteousness (δικαιοσύνην) -
the righteousness that issues from what is characteristic of law (τὴν ἐκ νόμου, ek + gen. with anarthrous nomou ) - but rather (ἀλλὰ) the
righteousness (τὴν) through-positioned-resting-in what is characteristic of Christ’s faith/faithfulness (διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ, dia + gen. with anarthrous pisteOs), the
originating-in-and-issuing-out-of-what-characterises-God-righteousness (τὴν ἐκ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, ek + gen. with anarthrous theou) positioned-resting-upon
the faith/faithfulness
already mentioned (ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει, epi + dative with arthrous pistei):
And I might possibly be found, in the end, at rest within Him, not having a righteousness of my own - the righteousness that comes out of legalism – but rather having the righteousness that has come about through resting in what characterises Christ’s faith/fulness - the righteousness that originates in and comes out of what characterises God and is resting/relying upon the faithfulness [of Christ]; or is resting/relying upon faith Christ Christ has; or is resting/relying upon the doctrine of the faith:
Phl 3:10 having the righteousness of-from the to know (τοῦ γνῶναι) him (αὐτὸν), and
having/to know the power (καὶ τὴν δύναμιν) of His resurrection (τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ), and
having/to know the fellowship (καὶ τὴν κοινωνίαν) of His sufferings (τῶν παθημάτων αὐτοῦ), while being conformed (συμμορφούμενος, present passive participle) to His death (τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ);
[having the righteousness] that comes from knowing Him, and having the power of His resurrection, and having the fellowship of His sufferings while being conformed to His death.
Note - If the accusatives "the power" and "the fellowship" are governed by having in v .8, then the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings are additions to the righteousness that comes from knowing Him;
In which case Paul wants to be found in the end having three things: the righteousness that comes from knowing Him; the power of His resurrection; and the fellowship of His sufferings
while still being conformed to His death.
But perhaps the "kai" is appositional, "even"
[having the righteousness] that comes from knowing Him, even having the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings while being conformed to His death.
In which case, You can't have this rigjhteousness without
having the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings
while being conformed to His death.
Or,
[having the righteousness] that comes from knowing Him, and knowing the power of His resurrection, and knowing the fellowship of His sufferings while being conformed to His death.
Note: If the accusatives "the power" and "the fellowship" are governed by "τοῦ γνῶναι" (to know by experience) then this righteousness comes from not just knowing Jesus Christ by experience, but also from knowing His resurrection by experience and from knowing the fellowship of His sufferings from experience, while at the same time being conformed to His death.
This sounds similar in sense to the case of the appositional kai above.
Note - This list of things are what "resting in what is characteristic of Christ's faith/faithfulness" entails; and these things originate in and come out of what is characteristic of God; and these things rest/rely upon the faith/fulness [of Christ], or these things rest/rely upon the the faith of Christ, or these things rest/rely upon the doctrine of the faith.
[I prefer the option of "Christ's faithfulness".]
Phl 3:11 If (εἴ ) by any means (πως) I might ultimately attain (καταντήσω, aorist active subjunctive) towards-into the resurrection (εἰς τὴν ἐξανάστασιν) of the dead (τῶν νεκρῶν).
If, by any means, in the end, I might possibly participate in the resurrection of the dead.
