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.

Revised Standard Version
Pressing toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature be thus minded; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
