What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him...
Philippians 3:8-9 NIV
So what did Paul give up? What did he lose?
His job
His reputation
His authority and power
As a consequence he probably lost his wealth, friends and maybe property...
But none of it mattered compared to knowing Jesus.
Paul according to an ancient historian was beheaded by Nero, so likely he gave even his life for his faith, for what he believed...because k knowing Jesus was so much more valuable than anything...
