Pressing On Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already (A)obtained it or have already (B)become perfect, but I press on [a]so that I may (C)lay hold of that [b]for which also I (D)was laid hold of by (E)Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: (F)forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I (G)press on toward the goal for the prize of the (H)upward call of God in (I)Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are [c](J)perfect, think this way; and if in anything you (K)think differently, (L)God will reveal that also to you. 16 However, let us keep [d](M)walking in step with the same standard to which we have attained.
