“ Friends, I do not yet
consider myself as having laid
hold of it, [ so much to learn ]
but there is one thing about it;
forgetting the things behind
and stretching forward to the
things ahead.”
This is what it says, in the
Bible book of Philippians 3:13
“朋友,我还没有考虑,我已经
得到了它牢牢把握,[太多东西
要学]
但有一个关于它的事情;
忘记的事情后面,向前伸展到
未来的事情。“
这是说,在圣经书腓3:13
