Filipenses 3

Reaching Forward to God’s Goal

12 Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold  * 3:12 Jn 1:5; 12:35; Rm 9:30; 1Co 9:24; Eph 3:18 of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not  * 3:13 Other mss read not yet consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind  * 3:13 Lk 9:62; 17:31 and reaching forward to what is ahead, 14 I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly  * 3:14 Or upward call in Christ Jesus.  * 3:14 Rm 16:7; Eph 2:6; Php 1:1,15; 1Pt 5:1415 Therefore, let all of us who are mature think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal  * 3:15 Lk 10:21 this also to you.
