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

things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in HIM, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law,

of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
