Philippians 3:6-8
New International Reader's Version
6 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.
7 I thought things like that were really something great. But now I consider them to be nothing because of Christ. 8 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.

Philippians 3:6-8
New International Version
6 as for zeal,(A) persecuting the church;(B) as for righteousness based on the law,(C) faultless.
7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss(D) for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing(E) Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ(F)
