“…whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish*, that I may gain Christ…” (Philippians 3: 7, 8; The Holy Bible, New International Version, Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society)

*(the King James version calls, “rubbish”, “dung”—Bill Pelrine’s note)
