Philippians 3:12-16
Legacy Standard Bible

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.

Philippians 3:12-16
New King James Version

Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already (A)attained,[a] or am already (B)perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [b]apprehended; but one thing I do, (C)forgetting those things which are behind and (D)reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 (E)I press toward the goal for the prize of (F)the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are (G)mature, (H)have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, (I)God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already [c]attained, (J)let us walk (K)by the same [d]rule, let us be of the same mind.
