7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for

the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything

as loss because of the surpassing worth of

knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I

have suffered the loss of all things and count

them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in him, not having a

righteousness of my own that comes from the

law, but that which comes through faith in

Christ, the righteousness from God that

depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and

the power of his resurrection, and may share

his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11 that by any means possible I may attain the

resurrection from the dead.

Phil 3:7-11

7 “Will any one of you who has a servant

plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he

has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and

recline at table’? 8 Will he not rather say to

him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress

properly, and serve me while I eat and drink,

and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does

he thank the servant because he did what was

commanded? 10 So you also, when you have

done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We

are unworthy servants; we have only done

what was our duty.’ ” LUKE 17:7-10LUKE 17:7-10

17 “But when he came to himself,

he said, ‘How many of my father’s

hired servants have more than

enough bread, but I perish here with

hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my

father, and I will say to him, “Father,

I have sinned against heaven and

before you. 19 I am no longer

worthy to be called your son. Treat

me as one of your hired servants.” ’
