Philippians 3:12–21

12 Not that I have already aobtained it or have already bbecome perfect, but I press on 1so that I may clay hold of that 2for which also I dwas laid hold of by eChrist Jesus.

13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: aforgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

14 I apress on toward the goal for the prize of the bupward call of God in cChrist Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are 1aperfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a bdifferent attitude, cGod will reveal that also to you;

16 however, let us keep 1aliving by that same standard to which we have attained.

17 Brethren, ajoin in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the bpattern you have in us.

18 For amany walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even bweeping, that they are enemies of cthe cross of Christ,

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their 1aappetite, and whose bglory is in their shame, who cset their minds on earthly things.

20 For aour 1citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly bwait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

21 who will atransform 1the body of our humble state into bconformity with 2the cbody of His glory, dby the exertion of the power that He has even to esubject all things to Himself.
