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

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、

然昔以為得、今以為失：無他、為基督之故也。

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

In the same way, you must give up everything you have. Those of you who don’t cannot be my disciple.

“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.

What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses their soul? Or what can anyone trade for their soul?

A person’s riches might save their life. But a poor person is not able to do anything about danger.

“ The kingdom of heaven is like treasure that was hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again. He was very happy. So he went and sold everything he had. And he bought that field.“ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader who was looking for fine pearls.He found one that was very valuable. So he went away and sold everything he had. And he bought that pearl.

We are Jews by birth. We are not sinful Gentiles.Here is what we know. No one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. This is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ. We are not made right by obeying the law. That’s because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Suppose someone is on the housetop on that day. And suppose what they own is inside the house. They should not go down to get what they own. No one in the field should go back for anything either.Remember Lot’s wife!Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life will keep it.

As soon as the angels had brought them out, one of them spoke. He said,“ Run for your lives! Don’t look back! Don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains! If you don’t, you will be swept away!”

But Lot’s wife looked back. When she did, she became a pillar made out of salt.

Here is what I, Paul, say to you. Don’t let yourselves be circumcised. If you do, Christ won’t be of any value to you.I say it again. Every man who lets himself be circumcised must obey the whole law.Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.But we long to be made completely holy because of our faith in Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we wait for this in hope.

We took a very bad beating from the storm. The next day the crew began to throw the ship’s contents overboard.On the third day, they even threw the ship’s tools and supplies overboard with their own hands.

They ate as much as they wanted. They needed to make the ship lighter. So they threw the rest of the grain into the sea.

I have many reasons to trust in who I am and what I have done. Someone else may think they have reasons to trust in these things. But I have even more.I was circumcised on the eighth day. I am part of the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am a pure Hebrew. As far as the law is concerned, I am a Pharisee.As far as being committed is concerned, I opposed and attacked the church. As far as keeping the law is concerned, I kept it perfectly.

Even more, I consider everything to be nothing compared to knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. To know him is worth much more than anything else. Because of him I have lost everything. But I consider all of it to be garbage so I can know Christ better.I want to be joined to him. Being right with God does not come from my obeying the law. It comes because I believe in Christ. It comes from God because of faith.I want to know Christ better. Yes, I want to know the power that raised him from the dead. I want to join him in his sufferings. I want to become like him by sharing in his death.

“ The manager had not been honest. But the master praised him for being clever. The people of this world are clever in dealing with those who are like themselves. They are more clever than God’s people.

Satan replied,“ A man will give everything he has to save himself. So Job is willing to give up the lives of his family to save his own life.

Buy the truth and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, instruction and understanding as well.
