It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.

7 Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ.(A) 8 More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ(B) 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law but one that comes through faith in Christ,[a] the righteousness from God based on faith.(C)
