Straining Toward the Goal

¹² Not that I have already ^(A)obtained this or ^(B)am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: ^(C)forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for ^(D)the prize of the upward ^(E)call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let those of us who are ^(F)mature think this way, and if in anything ^(G)you think otherwise, ^(H)God will reveal that also to you. ¹⁶ Only ^(I)let us hold true to what we have attained.
