Philippians 3:12-15

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. 15Let those of us who are fmature think this way, and if in anything gyou think otherwise, hGod will reveal that also to you.
