CONTRARY TO WHAT WE BY NATURE ARE PRONE TO BELIEVE, INTELLIGENCE AND RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE ARE OF LITTLE VALUE AND EVEN MORE, ARE LIABILITIES IN MANY CASES IN ATTAINING THE MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION IN ALL EXISTENCE: KNOWING JESUS
Philippians 3:8 (NET)
More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT KNOWING IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE OF THE WORD
WE SHOULD DEVOTE ALL OUR ENERGIES IN LEARNING ABOUT THIS KNOWING OF JESUS
FOR IT IS FROM THIS KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING ELSE FLOWS
