¹² Not that I have already received this,^[a] or have already been made perfect, but I press on if indeed I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ.^{[b] 13} Brothers, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it.^[c] But I do one thing, forgetting the things behind and straining toward the things ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Imitate Paul

¹⁵ Therefore as many as are perfect, let us hold this opinion^[d], and if you think anything differently, God will reveal this also to you. ¹⁶ Only to what we have attained, to the same hold on.
