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.
