isv Philippians:3:12-4:1
isv@Philippians:3:12 @ It's not that I have already reached this goal or have already become perfect. But I keep pursuing it, hoping somehow to embrace it just as I have been embraced by Christ Jesus.
isv@Philippians:3:13 @ Brothers, I do not consider myself to have embraced it. But this one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
isv@Philippians:3:14 @ I keep pursuing the goal to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.
isv@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore, those of us who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will show you how to think.
isv@Philippians:3:16 @ However, we should live up to what we have achieved so far.
isv@Philippians:3:17 @ Join together in imitating me, brothers, and pay close attention to those who live by the example we have given you.
isv@Philippians:3:18 @ For I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
isv@Philippians:3:19 @ Their destiny is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on worldly things.
isv@Philippians:3:20 @ Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
isv@Philippians:3:21 @ He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.
isv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my dear brothers whom I long for, my joy and my victor's crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends.
