11if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.
12Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.
13Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:
16only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.
17Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.
