m ore: circum cised on t he eight h day, a m em ber of t he people of

Israel, o f t he t r ibe of Benjam in, a Hebrew born of Hebrew s; as t o

t he law , a Phar isee; as t o zeal, a persecut or of t h e church; as t o

r ight eousness under t he law , b lam eless.

Yet w hat ever gains I had, t hese I have com e t o regard as loss

because of Chr ist . More t han t hat , I regard everyt h ing as loss

because of t he surpassing value of know ing Chr ist Jesus m y Lord.

For h is sake I have suf fered t he loss of all t h ings, and I regard

t hem as rubbish, in order t hat I m ay gain Chr ist and be found in

(He said t h is not because he cared about t he poor , but because

he w as a t h ief ; he kept t he com m on purse and used t o st eal w hat
