Philippians 3:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ I tried very much to please God. So I caused a lot of trouble and pain for the Christians. I obeyed the rules of God's Law, and nobody could say that I did anything wrong.

⁷ All those ideas seemed very important to me then. But now they are worth nothing to me, because I trust in Christ. ⁸ Yes, now that I know Christ Jesus as my Lord, that is the most valuable thing. Nothing else is important at all. I have thrown everything else away, so that I can serve Christ. All those other things are like dirt to me. I think about them like that, so that I can have Christ.
