12 Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
13 brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing--the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth--
14 to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect--let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16 but to what we have come--by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
17 become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us--a pattern;
18 for many walk of whom many times I told you--and now also weeping tell--the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
