Not that I have already obtained all this,
or have already been made perfect,
but I press on to take hold of that for which
Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers,
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,
I press on toward the goal
to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
