Philippians 3:12-15
New International Version
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(A) but I press on to take hold(B) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(C) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind(D) and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on(E) toward the goal to win the prize(F) for which God has called(G) me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Following Paul’s Example
15 All of us, then, who are mature(H) should take such a view of things.(I) And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.(J)
2 Peter 1:4-8
New International Version
4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises,(A) so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,(B) having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.(C)
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;(D) 6 and to knowledge, self-control;(E) and to self-control, perseverance;(F) and to perseverance, godliness;(G) 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.(H) 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive(I) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.(J)
1 John 3:1-3
New International Version
3 See what great love(A) the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!(B) And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.(C) 2 Dear friends,(D) now we are children of God,(E) and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a](F) we shall be like him,(G) for we shall see him as he is.(H) 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves,(I) just as he is pure.(J)
