Goodspeed(i)
12 Not that I have secured it yet, or already reached perfection, but I am pressing on to see if I can capture it, because I have been captured by Jesus Christ.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have captured it yet, only, forgetting what is behind me, and straining toward what lies ahead,
14 I am pressing toward the goal, for the prize to which God through Christ Jesus calls us upward.
15 Let as many of us therefore as are mature have this attitude. If you have any different attitude, God will make this clear to you.
16 Only we must live up to what we have already attained.
17 Follow my example, brothers, all of you, and notice those who follow the pattern we have set you.
18 For there are many who live, as I have often told you, and tell you now with tears, like enemies of the cross of Christ.
