Philippians 3:10-21

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)that I may know him and ^(B)the power of his resurrection, and ^(C)may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹that by any means possible I may ^(D)attain the resurrection from the dead.

Straining Toward the Goal

¹²Not that I have already ^(E)obtained this or ^(F)am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: ^(G)forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴I press on toward the goal for ^(H)the prize of the upward ^(I)call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵Let those of us who are ^(J)mature think this way, and if in anything ^(K)you think otherwise, ^(L)God will reveal that also to you. ¹⁶Only ^(M)let us hold true to what we have attained.

¹⁷Brothers, ^(N)join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk ^(O)according to the example you have in us. ¹⁸For ^(P)many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you ^(Q)even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. ¹⁹^(R)Their end is destruction, ^(S)their god is their belly, and ^(T)they glory in their shame, with ^(U)minds set on earthly things. ²⁰But ^(V)our citizenship is in heaven, and ^(W)from it we ^(X)await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹who will transform ^(Y)our lowly body ^(Z)to be like his glorious body, ^(AA)by the power that enables him even ^(AB)to subject all things to himself.
