然昔以為得、今以為失：無他、為基督之故也。

只是我先前以为与我有益的，我现在因基督都当作有损的。

只是我先前以为对我是有益的，我现在因基督的缘故而当作是有损的。

只是我先前以为对我是有益的，我现在因基督的缘故而当作是有损的。

但是为了基督，我从前以为有价值的，现在认为毫无价值。

然而以前对我有益的，现在因着基督的缘故，我都当作是有损的。

然而，以前对我有益的事，现在因基督的缘故，我已经把这些事看做是损失。

只是我先前以為與我有益的，我現在因基督都當作有損的。

只是我先前以為對我是有益的，我現在因基督的緣故而當作是有損的。

只是我先前以為對我是有益的，我現在因基督的緣故而當作是有損的。

但是為了基督，我從前以為有價值的，現在認為毫無價值。

然而以前對我有益的，現在因著基督的緣故，我都當作是有損的。

但從前於我為贏得的、這一切、我為基督的緣故都看做虧損了。

然而，以前對我有益的事，現在因基督的緣故，我已經把這些事看做是損失。

但昔於我為益者、我緣基督以之為損、

然始以此為我益、今緣基督、吾以為損、

然此一切、昔我以為益、今為基督皆以為損、

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

I thought things like that were really something great. But now I consider them to be nothing because of Christ.

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.

But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ.

But whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ.

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ.

However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

是故爾中不拘誰何、苟不願犧牲一切、終不克為吾徒也。

『人來從予、而不甘舍其父母妻子昆弟姊妹、乃至其生命者、不得為吾徒。

夫人雖富有天下、而自喪其靈。何益之有？更將何以贖其靈乎？

天國猶如田間寶藏、有人偶發、即掩之、忻然而去、盡售所有、購置新田。天國又如賈者之求美珠、見希世之珠、即售其所有以市之。

吾人為猶太人、而非外邦之罪人、固矣；雖然、吾人既知人之成義、非憑律法、惟憑篤信基督、故毅然惟基督是信、亦欲緣篤信基督、不恃律法、而成義耳。無他、血氣之倫、未有僅憑遵行律法、而成義者也。

當彼之日、人在屋上、器在室中、毋思下取；在田者、亦毋返其居、當以羅德之妻為前車之鑒也。凡欲苟全其生者、失之；惟自舍其生者、能保其生。

我葆樂剴切告爾、爾如承受割禮、則基督於爾為無益。不寧惟是、凡承受割禮者、即有遵行全部律法之義務。爾既欲求義於律法之中、則與基督絕緣、而自置於恩寵之外矣。蓋吾人惟恃聖神而起信心、始有成義之望耳。

吾儕為風浪威逼甚急：次日、眾將貨物投之海中、至第三日、彼等又親將舟上之器具拋棄。

彼等既食、遂投麥於海、以輕舟身；

若形體之事為足恃、予亦不敢多讓。人如以此為誇、則予應更可誇矣。予生八日、即受割禮；以血統論、固義塞人也、屬於便雅明支派、而出於希伯萊人之希伯萊人也。以律法論、固法利塞人也以熱情論、固迫辱聖教會、不遺餘力者也。以守法論、固無懈可擊也。

以予視之、一切莫非失也；惟認識吾主基督耶穌之為得耳。因此予已犧牲一切、而視之如糟粕、一心惟望贏得基督、而與之合為一體。蓋予自身了無仁義、律法亦不足為恃、惟天主為仁義之泉源、而所以致之者、則惟信仰基督而已矣。予渴欲識之更深、而親領其復活之力量、且與之共受苦難追踵其死、

掌家固不義、然其深思遠慮、即其主人、亦不能不為之歎佩。蓋世俗子之所以謀身者、有敏於光明子之所以謀道者焉。
