12. Not that I have already received, or already been perfected, but I press on, to lay hold of that for which Messiah יהושע has also laid hold of me.
13. Brothers, I do not count myself to have laid hold of it yet, but only this: forgetting what is behind and reaching out for what lies ahead,
14. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of Elohim in Messiah יהושע.
15. As many, then, as are perfect, should have this mind. And if you think differently in any respect, Elohim shall also reveal this to you.
16. But to what we have already attained – walk by the same rule, be of the same mind.
17. Become joint imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
18. For many – of whom I have often told you, and now say to you even weeping – walk as enemies of the stake of Messiah.
