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

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.

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.

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.

So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

“ If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else— your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

The rich can pay a ransom for their lives, but the poor won’t even get threatened.

“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls.When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!

“ You and I are Jews by birth, not‘ sinners’ like the Gentiles.Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”

On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home.Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.

When they were safely out of the city, one of the angels ordered,“ Run for your lives! And don’t look back or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”

But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.

The next day, as gale force winds continued to batter the ship, the crew began throwing the cargo overboard.The following day they even took some of the ship’s gear and threw it overboard.

After eating, the crew lightened the ship further by throwing the cargo of wheat overboard.

though I could have confidence in my own effort if anyone could. Indeed, if others have reason for confidence in their own efforts, I have even more!I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin— a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law.I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christand become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,

“ The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light.

Satan replied to the Lord,“ Skin for skin! A man will give up everything he has to save his life.

Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.
