For to me to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.

so that [what] you can be proud of may increase in Christ Jesus because of me through my return again to you.

But whatever [things] were gain to me, these [things] I have considered loss because of Christ.

{More than that}, even consider all [things] to be loss because of the surpassing greatness of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of all [things], and consider [them] dung, in order that I may gain Christ
