  • God’s people rejoice in the Lord (vv. 1-4a).
  • If our flesh could earn us a spiritual profit, Paul would have been abundantly rich (vv. 4b-6).
  • Like Paul, we are left spiritually bankrupt when we trust our flesh (vv. 7-8).
  • We are spiritually wealthy when we gain Christ (vv. 7-8).
  • When we receive Christ through faith, we also receive other spiritual rewards (vv. 9-11).
