Philippians 3:10-14

10My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death,

11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12Not that I have already attained this – that is, I have not already been perfected – but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.

13Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,

14with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
