More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
World English Bible (WEB)
Yea{G235} doubtless{G3304}, and{G2532} I count{G2233}{(G5736)} all things{G3956} but loss{G2209} for{G1511}{(G5750)}{G1223} the excellency{G5242}{(G5723)} of the knowledge{G1108} of Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} my{G3450} Lord{G2962}: for{G1223} whom{G3739} I have suffered the loss{G2210}{(G5681)} of all things{G3956}, and{G2532} do count{G2233}{(G5736)} them{G1511}{(G5750)} but dung{G4657}, that{G2443} I may win{G2770}{(G5661)} Christ{G5547},
Strong's King James
(8) Yet rather I count everything to being a loss, by view of the beyond better, the knowledge of Mashiach ישוע Yeshua, my אָדוֹן Adonai-Lord. Through whom I suffered all things and count it dung so that I might gain Mashiach!
The F.O.G*
[8] Yes, I consider everything else a total loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Messiah Jesus my Lord. For His sake, I've gladly walked away from it all - my status, my achievements, my religious identity. I consider them all garbage compared to gaining Messiah.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
Young's Literal Translation
