esteemingc the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense.

JND Translation Notes

c
These are aorists, but in English the present participle is joined to the perfect tense as characterizing the action. "He refused ... choosing"; "he refused ... having chosen" would make a different time of it, not the same. In Greek all is referred to the time of speaking.

W. Kelly Translation
