Philippians 3:12-14
New English Translation

Keep Going Forward

12 Not 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.[a] 13 Brothers and sisters,[b] I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded:[c] Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, 14 with this goal in mind,[d] I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God[e] in Christ Jesus.
