12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus. 13 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me. 14 I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.

15 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this to you.
