Philippians 3:12-18 It is not a fact that I have already secured it or already reached perfection, but I am pressing on to see if I can capture it, the ideal for which I was captured by Christ Jesus.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² It is not a fact that I have already secured it or already reached perfection, but I am pressing on to see if I can capture it, the ideal for which I was captured by Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brothers, I do not think that I have captured it yet, but here is my one aspiration, so forgetting what is behind me and reaching out for what is ahead of me, ¹⁴ I am pressing onward toward the goal, to win the prize to which God through Jesus Christ is calling us upward. ¹⁵ So let us all who are mature have this attitude. If you have a different attitude, God will make it clear to you. ¹⁶ However, we must continue to live up to that degree of success that we have already reached. ¹⁷ Follow my example, brothers, and keep your eyes on those who practice living by the pattern we have set you. ¹⁸ For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you in tears, who practice living as the enemies of the cross of Christ.
