But one thing I do: qforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for rthe prize of the upward scall of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let those of us who are tmature think this way, and if in anything uyou think otherwise, vGod will reveal that also to you.
