3:12 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. 1 3:13 Brothers and sisters, 2 I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: 3 Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, 3:14 with this goal in mind, 4 I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God 5 in Christ Jesus. 3:15 Therefore let those of us who are “perfect” embrace this point of view. 6 If you think otherwise, God will reveal to you the error of your ways. 7
