“Maar wat eers vir my ‘n bate was, beskou ek nou as waardeloos ter wille van Christus, ja, nog meer: ek beskou alles as waardeloos, want om Christus Jesus, my Here, te ken, oortref alles in waarde. Ter wille van Hom het ek alles prysgegee en beskou ek dit as verwerplik sodat ek Christus as enigste bate kan verkry. Maar een ding doen ek: ek maak my los van wat ager is en strek my uit na wat voor is. Ek span my in om by die wenstreep te kom sodat ek die hemelse prys kan behaal waartoe God my geroep het in Christus Jesus” (Fil. 3:7,8,13b-14 NV). But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile - now I‘ve thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ. Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us” (Phil. 3:7,8,13b-14 Life Application Bible). “Mme tse e neng e le khumo mo go nna ke di kaile tshenyegelo ka ntlha ya ga Keresete. Ruri ke kaya dilo tsotlhe tshenyegelo ka ntlha ya kitso e kgolo ya go itse Keresete Jesu Morena wa me yo ke latlhileng dilo tsotlhe tseo ka ntlha ya gagwe; ke bile ke di kaya matlakala gore ke hume Keresete. Mme selo se le sengwe ke a se dira ke se: Ke lebala dilo tse die kwa morago, ke gagamalela tse di kwa pele. Ke sianela bokhutlong jwa tshiano, ke tabogela sekgele sa pitso ya legodimo ya Modimo mo go Keresete Jesu” (Bafil. 3:7,8,13b-14 Beibele).
