Bible Comments

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Gain, х kerdee (G2771)] - 'gains:' all possible advantages of outward status which he heretofore enjoyed.

I counted, х heegeemai (G2233)] - 'I have counted for Christ's sake loss.' Not plural, as 'gains;' for he counts them all but one great "loss" (Matthew 16:26; Luke 9:25).
