Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, |
But indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ |
More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered, the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ, |
|
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ |
Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything, and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs) in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One). |
Yes, indeed, therefore, at least even I am still setting all things down to be a loss for the sake of that which excels all others, my knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord which I have joined through experience, for whose sake I have been caused to forfeit all things, and I am still counting them dung, in order that Christ I might gain, |
|
Yes, and I look upon everything as loss compared with the overwhelming gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I did in fact suffer the loss of everything, but I considered it mere garbage compared with being able to win Christ. |
Yes, indeed, I certainly do count everything as loss compared with the priceless privilege of knowing (literally, the surpassing excellence of the knowledge of) Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have lost everything, and value it all as mere refuse, in order to gain Christ |
