Philippians 3:12

WEB

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Context

9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

10that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

11if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

13Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken 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 for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
