Philippians 3:12-21

12NotG3756 thatG3754 I have already obtainedG2235G2983 all this, orG2228 have already been made perfectG2235G5048, butG1161 I press onG1377 to take hold ofG2638 that for whichG1909G3739 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 took hold of meG2638. 13BrothersG80, IG1473 do notG3756 considerG3049 myselfG1683 yet to have taken holdG2638 of it. ButG1161 one thingG1520 I do: ForgettingG1950 what isG3588 behindG3694 andG1161 straining towardG1901 whatG3588 is aheadG1715, 14I press onG1377 towardG2596 the goalG4649 toG1519 win theG3588 prizeG1017 ofG3588 God’sG2316 heavenlyG507 callingG2821 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

All of us whoG3745 are matureG5046 should embrace this point of viewG3778G5426. AndG2532 ifG1487 you thinkG5426 differentlyG2088 about some issueG5100, GodG2316 will revealG601 thisG3778 to youG4771 as wellG2532. 16NeverthelessG4133, we must live upG4748G3588G846 toG1519 whatG3739 we have already attainedG5348.

17Join one another in followingG4831G1096 myG1473 example, brothersG80, andG2532 carefully observeG4648 those whoG3588 walkG4043 according toG2531 the patternG5179 we set for youG2192G1473. 18ForG1063 as I have often toldG2036G4178 you beforeG4771, andG1161 nowG3568 sayG3004 again evenG2532 with tearsG2799: ManyG4183 liveG4043 as enemiesG2190 of theG3588 crossG4716 of ChristG5547. 19Their endG5056 is destructionG684, their godG2316 is their bellyG2836, andG2532 their gloryG1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG152. TheirG3588 minds are set onG5426 earthlyG1919 thingsG3588.

20ButG1063 ourG1473 citizenshipG4175 isG5225 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 we eagerly awaitG553 a SaviorG4990 fromG1537 there, the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 21whoG3739, byG2596 theG3588 powerG1753 that enables HimG846G3588G1410G2532 to subjectG5293 all thingsG3956 to HimselfG848, will transformG3345 ourG1473 lowlyG5014 bodiesG4983 to be likeG4832 HisG846 gloriousG1391 bodyG4983.
