13 My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead.
14 I run towards the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.
15 All of us who are mature should think in this same way. And if any of you think differently, God will make it clear to you.
16 But we must keep going in the direction that we are now headed.
17 My friends, I want you to follow my example and learn from others who closely follow the example we set for you.
18 I often warned you that many people are living as enemies of the cross of Christ. And now with tears in my eyes, I warn you again
19 that they are headed for hell! They worship their stomachs and boast about the disgusting things they do. All they can think about are the things of this world.
