Philippians 3:12-14  (New International Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 <\/sup>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.<\/span> 13 <\/sup>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 ahead,<\/span> 14 <\/sup>I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
