5. 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already
arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which
Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not
consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is
press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what
we have already attained.
