Philippians 3:8
_ _ Yea doubtless — The oldest manuscripts omit “doubtless” (Greek, “ge”): translate, “nay more.” Not only “have I counted” those things just mentioned “loss for Christ’s sake, but, moreover, I even DO count ALL things but loss,” etc.
_ _ for the excellency — Greek, “On account of the surpassing excellency (the supereminence above them all) of the knowledge of Christ Jesus.”
_ _ my Lord — believing and loving appropriation of Him (Psalms 63:1; John 20:28).
_ _ for whom — “on account of whom.”
_ _ I have suffered the loss — not merely I “counted” them “loss,” but have actually lost them.
_ _ all things — The Greek has the article, referring to the preceding “all things”; “I have suffered the loss of them all.”
_ _ dung — Greek, “refuse (such as excrements, dregs, dross) cast to the dogs,” as the derivation expresses. A “loss” is of something having value; but “refuse” is thrown away as not worthy of being any more touched or looked at.
_ _ win — Translate, to accord with the translation, Philippians 3:7, “gain Christ.” A man cannot make other things his “gain” or chief confidence, and at the same time “gain Christ.” He who loses all things, and even himself, on account of Christ, gains Christ: Christ is His, and He is Christ’s (Song of Songs 2:16; Song of Songs 6:3; Luke 9:23, Luke 9:24; 1 Corinthians 3:23). |
Philippians 3:8
Yea, I still account both all these and all things else to be mere loss, compared to the inward, experimental knowledge of Christ, as my Lord, as my prophet, priest, and king, as teaching me wisdom, atoning for my sins, and reigning in my heart. To refer this to justification only, is miserably to pervert the whole scope of the words. They manifestly relate to sanctification also; yea, to that chiefly. For whom I have actually suffered the loss of all things — Which the world loves, esteems, or admires; of which I am so far from repenting, that I still account them but dung — The discourse rises. Loss is sustained with patience, but dung is cast away with abhorrence. The Greek word signifies any, the vilest refuse of things, the dross of metals, the dregs of liquors, the excrements of animals, the most worthless scraps of meat, the basest offals, fit only for dogs. That I may gain Christ — He that loses all things, not excepting himself, gains Christ, and is gained by Christ. And still there is more; which even St. Paul speaks of his having not yet gained. |
Philippians 3:8
Yea doubtless, and I count (e) all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may (f) win Christ,
(e) He shuts out all works, those that go before, as well as those that come after faith.
(f) That in their place I might get Christ, and from a poor man become rich, so far am I from losing anything at all. |
