ell, go back to the beginning of Philippians 3. Read all that Paul says leading up to his confession that he has suffered the loss of all things. If you see what is going on in the passage, you will see that Paul has just listed much of what he lost in order to gain Christ. Paul lists all the reasons why he would otherwise have had confidence in his flesh – he lists everything about himself that he might have otherwise used to declare himself righteous, or that he might have used to MAINTAIN his own righteousness. He had all of his life bound in the Old Covenant law. But Paul says he LOST all those things – that he might win Christ.
