Philippians 3:12-21

Murdock(i) 12 Not as though I had already taken the prize, or were already complete; but I run in the race, if so I may take that, for which Jesus the Messiah took me. 13 My brethren, I do not consider myself, as having taken it. But one thing I know, that I forget the things behind me, and reach for the things before me; 14 and I run straight for the goal, that I may obtain the prize of victory of the call of God from on high, by Jesus the Messiah. 15 Therefore let those who are perfect, have these views; and if ye differently view any thing, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Nevertheless, that we may attain to this, let us proceed on in one path, and with one consent. 17 Be like me, my brethren; and contemplate them, who walk after the pattern ye have seen in us. 18 For there are many who walk otherwise; of whom I have often told you, and I now tell you, with weeping, that they are adversaries of the cross of the Messiah; 19 whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their glory their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth. 20 But our concern is with heaven; and from thence we expect our Vivifier, our Lord, Jesus the Messiah; 21 who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.
