— Philippians 3:14, NET Bible
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
“I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ”
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Keep Going Forward 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.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,
with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore let those of us who are“perfect” embrace this point of view. If you think otherwise, God will reveal to you the error of your ways.
Nevertheless, let us live up to the standard that we have already attained.
Be imitators of me, brothers and sisters, and watch carefully those who are living this way, just as you have us as an example.
