Philippians 3:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 Not that I have already [a](A)grasped it all or have already (B)become perfect, but I press on if I may also (C)take hold of that [b]for which I (D)was even taken hold of by (E)Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken 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 Therefore, all who are [c](J)mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a (K)different attitude, (L)God will reveal that to you as well; 16 however, let’s keep [d](M)living by that same standard to which we have attained.

Philippians 3:12-16
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.
