menu_book Verse in Context

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

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

12 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.

13 Brothers, 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,

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
