Philippians 3:12-14

Straining Toward the Goal

12Not that I have already aobtained this or bam already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: cforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for dthe prize of the upward ecall of God in Christ Jesus.

James 3:2

2For fwe all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, ghe is a perfect man, hable also to bridle his whole body.

1 John 1:7-8

7But iif we walk in the light, jas he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and kthe blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 lIf we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and mthe truth is not in us.
