Philippians 3:12-21

12Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus]. 13Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before, 14I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of 1God in Christ Jesus. 15As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also 2God shall reveal to you. 16But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps. 17Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model; 18(for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19whose end [is] destruction, whose 3god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:) 20for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour, 21who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
