that I may aknow Him and bthe power of His resurrection and cthe fellowship of His sufferings, being dconformed to His death;in order that I may aattain to the resurrection from the dead.But awhatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of aknowing bChrist Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,and may be found in Him, not having aa righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, bthe righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

highlighted 2 Corinthians 12:7-12 NASB
Therefore aI am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with bdistresses, with cpersecutions, with bdifficulties, dfor Christ's sake; for ewhen I am weak, then I am strong.I have become afoolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for bin no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though cI am a nobody.The asigns of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.Because of the surpassing greatness of the arevelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a bthorn in the flesh, a cmessenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!Concerning this I implored the Lord athree times that it might leave me.And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for apower is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather bboast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

highlighted 1 Samuel 17:31-47 NASB
When the words which David spoke were heard, they told them to Saul, and he sent for him.David said to Saul, "aLet no man's heart fail on account of him; byour servant will go and fight with this Philistine."Then Saul said to David, "aYou are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."But David said to Saul, "Your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,I went out after him and attacked him, and arescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him."Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God."And David said, "aThe Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "bGo, and may the Lord be with you."Then Saul clothed David with his garments and put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with armor.David girded his sword over his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. So David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them." And David took them off.He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his pouch, and ahis sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.When the Philistine looked and saw David, ahe disdained him; for he was but a youth, and bruddy, with a handsome appearance.The Philistine said to David, "aAm I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And bthe Philistine cursed David by his gods.The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh ato the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, abut I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted."This day the Lord will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the adead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, bthat all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,and that all this assembly may know that athe Lord does not deliver by sword or by spear; bfor the battle is the Lord'S and He will give you into our hands."

Again the Philistine said, "aI defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together."When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.Now athe Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between bSocoh and cAzekah, in dEphes-dammim.Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in athe valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines.The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named aGoliath, from bGath, whose height was six cubits and a span.He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a abronze javelin slung between his shoulders.aThe shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; bhis shield-carrier also walked before him.He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you aservants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me."aIf he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us."

and in Him you have been amade complete, and bHe is the head over all crule and authority;and in Him ayou were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of bthe body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;having been aburied with Him in baptism, in which you were also braised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who craised Him from the dead.When you were adead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He bmade you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,having canceled out athe certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and bHe has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.When He had adisarmed the brulers and authorities, He amade a public display of them, having ctriumphed over them through Him.Therefore no one is to aact as your judge in regard to bfood or bdrink or in respect to a cfestival or a dnew moon or a eSabbath day--things which are aa mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.Let no one keep adefrauding you of your prize by bdelighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen,
