Philippians 3:12-16

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. 16Only ilet us hold true to what we have attained.

James 3:2

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

1 John 1:8-10

8 mIf we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and nthe truth is not in us. 9 oIf we confess our sins, he is pfaithful and just to forgive us our sins and qto cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say we have not sinned, rwe make him a liar, and shis word is not in us.
