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
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Brothers, I Am Forgetting The Past And Pressing On Toward The True Prize
12 Not that I already obtained it or have already been made-perfect[a], but I am pressing-on to see if I may indeed take-hold-of [b] that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things behind and stretching-toward the things ahead, 14 I am pressing-on toward the goal for the prize of the upward[c] calling from God in Christ Jesus.
All Who Claim To Be Mature: Think This Same Way. Imitate Me
15 Therefore, all who are mature— let us be thinking[d] this. And if you are thinking anything differently, God will reveal this also to you. 16 Nevertheless, to what thinking we attained, by the same let us be walking-in-line.
