13Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,
14I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
15Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:
16Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.
17Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.
18For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;
19Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.
