‏ Philippians 3:7-8

Summary for Phil 3:7-8: 3:7-8  a As a Christian, Paul now regarded these things (3:5-6  b) as worthless because of what Christ has done: A believer’s relationship with God is defined by knowing Christ (cp. 3:10  c; John 17:3  d) and nothing else. The only important thing is to gain Christ, thus receiving the gift of eternal salvation (cp. John 3:16  e; 1 Jn 5:11-13  f). By comparison, all other things are meaningless garbage (or excrement).
