Philippians 3:10-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ that knows Christ. Faith knows the power that his coming back to life gives and what it means to share his suffering. In this way I’m becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ with the confidence that I’ll come back to life from the dead.

¹² It’s not that I’ve already reached the goal or have already completed the course. But I run to win that which Jesus Christ has already won for me. ¹³ Brothers and sisters, I can’t consider myself a winner yet. This is what I do: I don’t look back, I lengthen my stride, and ¹⁴ I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God’s heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Whoever has a mature faith should think this way. And if you think differently, God will show you how to think.
