Philippians 3:12-21

WPNT(i) 12 —not that I have already obtained it or have already been perfected; but I press on to actually claim that for which Christ Jesus claimed me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have already claimed it, but this: forgetting the things behind and straining toward those ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize, the upward call from God because of Christ Jesus. 15 So then, those of us who are mature should have this mentality, but if on some point you think differently, God will reveal that to you as well. 16 Only, in what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. 17 Brothers, join together in imitating me, and having us as a pattern take note of those who walk in the same way. 18 Because many are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ—of whom I told you often, and now tell you even with tears— 19 whose end is ruin, whose god is their stomach, and whose glory is in their shame; their mind is only on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in Heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly await our Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humiliation so that it will be conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working by which He is indeed able to subject all things to Himself.
