12. I have not yet received all of those things. I have not yet been made perfect. But I move on to take hold of what Christ Jesus took hold of me for.
13. Brothers and sisters, I don't consider that I have taken hold of it yet. But here is the one thing I do. I forget what is behind me. I push hard toward what is ahead of me.
14. I move on toward the goal to win the prize. God has appointed me to win it. The heavenly prize is Christ Jesus himself.
15. All of us who are grown up in the faith should see things that way. Maybe you think differently about something. But God will make it clear to you.
16. Only let us live up to what we have already reached.
