The opening
SEKMON I.
But what tMngs were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
PHIL. iii. 7.
THE apostle having shown that he had greater cause of confidence and glorying in the flesh than any of the pretenders among the Judaising brethren, at least was not any whit inferior to them in outward privileges; here he showeth that since he had attained to the knowledge of Christ, he accounted these things not only unprofitable, but hurtful, * But what things were gain to me, those I accounted loss for Christ’
In the words we have a comparison of his judgment before his knowledge of Christ and after his knowledge of Christ.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
