Philippians 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

B. Paul’s Choice (Philippians 3:7-8)

a. Things that Paul counted gain

(2) His stock (Philippians 3:5)
(3) His religious affiliation (Philippians 3:5)
(4) His zeal (Philippians 3:6)
(5) His righteousness (Philippians 3:6)
b. Those things he counted loss
(1) His circumcision gave way to a greater circumcision
a) The inadequacy of his circumcision (Romans 2:25, 27; 1 Corinthians 7:19; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:15)
b) The superiority of the spiritual circumcision (Romans 2:29; Colossians 2:11-12)

b) The superiority of his spiritual stock (Romans 8:14, 19; 2 Corinthians 6:18; Galatians 4:6; Philippians 2:15)
(3) His zeal gave way to a greater zeal

b) The superiority of his new zeal (Titus 2:14)
(4) His righteousness gave way to a greater righteousness
