Philippians 3:12-21

12Not that I have already 12grasped it all or have already 3become perfect, but I press on if I may also 4take hold of that 5for which I 6was even taken hold of by 7Christ Jesus. 13Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: 8forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14I 9press on toward the goal for the prize of the 10upward call of God in 11Christ Jesus. 15Therefore, all who are 1213mature, let’s have this attitude; and if in anything you have a 14different attitude, 15God will reveal that to you as well; 16however, let’s keep 1617living by that same standard to which we have attained.

17Brothers and sisters, 18join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the 19pattern you have in us. 18For 20many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I 21weep, that they are the enemies of 22the cross of Christ, 19whose end is destruction, whose god is their 2324appetite, and whose 25glory is in their shame, who 26have their minds on earthly things. 20For 27our 28citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly 29wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21who will 30transform the body of our lowly condition into 31conformity with 32His 33glorious body, 34by the exertion of the power that He has even to 35subject all things to Himself.
