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.

Pressing toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal,[a] but I press on to lay hold of that for which Christ[b] has laid hold of me.(A) 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have laid hold[c] of it, but one thing I have laid hold of: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,(B) 14 I press on toward the goal, toward the prize of the heavenly[d] call of God in Christ Jesus.(C) 15 Let those of us, then, who are mature[e] think this way, and if you think differently about anything, this, too, God will reveal to you.(D) 16 Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.(E)
