在这几节里，“信靠肉体”是指信靠我们肉体中的所有好的项目和资格；我们天然人里面可敬的、可爱的、优越的各方面，仍然是肉体。

以认识基督为至宝，并不是指那属于基督的认识，或基督自己所拥有的认识，乃是指我们对基督主观的认识—约十七3：

１
腓立比三章八节的“认识”，实际的意思是对基督和祂的宝贵有启示，有异象—加一15~16，弗一17~23。
In Philippians 3:8 knowledge actually means a revelation, a vision, concerning Christ and His excellency—Gal. 1:15-16; Eph. 1:17-23.

We need to have a vision of the preciousness of Christ and the excellency of the knowledge of the all-inclusive, unlimited Christ—1 Pet. 2:4, 7; Col. 1:12, 15-19; 2:2-3, 9, 16-17; 3:4, 10.

２
以认识基督为至宝，来自于启示；没有关乎基督的启示，我们就无法认识基督—太十六17，十一27，加一15~16，约十七3。
The excellency of the knowledge of Christ comes by revelation; without the revelation concerning Christ, we cannot know Christ—Matt. 16:17; 11:27; Gal. 1:15-16; John 17:3.

保罗因以认识基督为至宝，就将万事看作亏损—腓三8上：
On account of (or because of) the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, Paul counted all things to be loss—Phil. 3:8a:
On account of (or because of) the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, Paul counted all things to be loss—Phil. 3:8a:
一
保罗对于认识基督耶稣为至宝极为看重；这是由“我主”这辞所指明，这辞传达了他对基督那亲密、柔细的感觉。
Paul placed great value on the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus; this is indicated by the words my Lord, which convey his intimate, tender feelings concerning Christ.
Paul placed great value on the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus; this is indicated by the words my Lord, which convey his intimate, tender feelings concerning Christ.
二
保罗的眼睛被开启，看见这位奇妙、包罗万有之基督的至宝；因着这至宝，他就将万事，无论是宗教的或天然的赢得，都看作亏损。
Paul's eyes were opened to see the excellency of the wonderful, all-inclusive Christ; on account of this excellency, he counted as loss all things, whether they related to religious gain or natural gain.
Paul's eyes were opened to see the excellency of the wonderful, all-inclusive Christ; on account of this excellency, he counted as loss all things, whether they related to religious gain or natural gain.
三
八节的“万事”指明，保罗不仅放下宗教的事物，也放下万事，因他以认识基督耶稣为至宝；因此，对保罗来说，亏损万事乃是失去一切。
In verse 8 all things indicates that Paul dropped not only religious things but all things on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus; thus, to Paul, the loss of all things was the loss of everything.
In verse 8 all things indicates that Paul dropped not only religious things but all things on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus; thus, to Paul, the loss of all things was the loss of everything.
四
我们越以认识基督为至宝，就越会将一切宗教与天然的事物看作亏损—4~8节上。
The more we have the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, the more we will count as loss everything religious and natural—vv. 4-8a.

肆
保罗因基督已经亏损万事，看作粪土，为要赢得基督—7、8节下：
On account of Christ, Paul suffered the loss of all things and counted them as refuse in order to gain Christ—vv. 7, 8b:
On account of Christ, Paul suffered the loss of all things and counted them as refuse in order to gain Christ—vv. 7, 8b:
一
八节的“万事”包括宗教、哲学和文化的事；保罗亏损这一切，因为这些都是基督的代替品，是撒但所利用的圈套，叫人远离基督，无法经历基督。
All things in verse 8 includes the things of religion, philosophy, and culture; Paul suffered the loss of all these things because they were substitutes for Christ, hooks used by Satan to keep people from Christ and the experience of Christ.
All things in verse 8 includes the things of religion, philosophy, and culture; Paul suffered the loss of all these things because they were substitutes for Christ, hooks used by Satan to keep people from Christ and the experience of Christ.
二
我们借着将从前对我们是赢得的看作粪土，而赢得基督—4、8节：
We gain Christ by suffering the loss of all things that were once a gain for us and by counting them as refuse—vv. 4, 8:
We gain Christ by suffering the loss of all things that were once a gain for us and by counting them as refuse—vv. 4, 8:
１
八节的“赢得”，原文意，获得、取得、持定。
The Greek word for gain in verse 8 means “to secure, to obtain, to lay hold of.”
The Greek word for gain in verse 8 means “to secure, to obtain, to lay hold of.”
２
赢得基督就是赢得祂的人位，以经历、享受并据有祂一切追测不尽的丰富—弗三8。
To gain Christ is to gain His person, to experience, enjoy, and take possession of all His unsearchable riches—Eph. 3:8.
To gain Christ is to gain His person, to experience, enjoy, and take possession of all His unsearchable riches—Eph. 3:8.
３
我们和保罗一样，不仅该因基督将万事看作亏损（腓三7），也该亏损万事，将万事看作粪土（8）。
Like Paul, we should not only count all things as loss on account of Christ (Phil. 3:7) but also suffer the loss of all things and count all things as refuse (v. 8).
Like Paul, we should not only count all things as loss on account of Christ (Phil. 3:7) but also suffer the loss of all things and count all things as refuse (v. 8).
４
我们越因基督亏损万事，看作粪土，就越赢得基督作我们的经历和享受—7~8节。
The more we suffer the loss of all things and count them as refuse on account of Christ, the more we will gain Christ for our experience and enjoyment—vv. 7-8.
The more we suffer the loss of all things and count them as refuse on account of Christ, the more we will gain Christ for our experience and enjoyment—vv. 7-8.
