3:12 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Not that I have already obtained R146 {it} or have already become R147 perfect, but I press on so F45 that I may lay R148 hold of that for F46 which also I was R149 laid hold of by Christ R150 Jesus.
3:13 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of {it} yet; but one thing {I do:} forgetting R151 what {lies} behind and reaching forward to what {lies} ahead,
3:14 - [In Context |Original Greek ]I press R152 on toward the goal for the prize of the upward R153 call of God in Christ R154 Jesus.
3:15 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, F47 R155 have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different R156 attitude, God R157 will reveal that also to you;
3:16 - [In Context |Original Greek ]however, let us keep living F48 R158 by that same { standard} to which we have attained.
3:17 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Brethren, join R159 in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern R160 you have in us.
3:18 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For many R161 walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, R162 {that they are} enemies of the R163 cross of Christ,
3:19 - [In Context |Original Greek ]whose end is destruction, whose god is {their} appetite, F49 R164 and {whose} glory R165 is in their shame, who set R166 their minds on earthly things.
3:20 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For our R167 citizenship F50 is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait R168 for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
3:21 - [In Context |Original Greek ]who will transform R169 the F51 body of our humble state into conformity R170 with the F52 body R171 of His glory, by R172 the exertion of the power that He has even to subject R173 all things to Himself.
