Philippians 3:12-4:1

New King James Version

Pressing Toward the Goal

¹² Not that I have already ^(A)attained,^[a] or am already ^(B)perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. ¹³ Brethren, I do not count myself to have ^[b]apprehended; but one thing I do, ^(C)forgetting those things which are behind and ^(D)reaching forward to those things which are ahead, ^14 (E)I press toward the goal for the prize of ^(F)the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Therefore let us, as many as are ^(G)mature, ^(H)have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, ^(I)God will reveal even this to you. ¹⁶ Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already ^[c]attained, ^(J)let us walk ^(K)by the same ^[d]rule, let us be of the same mind.

Our Citizenship in Heaven

¹⁷ Brethren, ^(L)join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as ^(M)you have us for a pattern. ¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are ^(N)the enemies of the cross of Christ: ^19 (O)whose end is destruction, ^(P)whose god is their belly, and ^(Q)whose glory is in their shame—^(R)who set their mind on earthly things. ²⁰ For ^(S)our citizenship is in heaven, ^(T)from which we also ^(U)eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ^21 (V)who will transform our lowly body that it may be ^(W)conformed to His glorious body, ^(X)according to the working by which He is able even to ^(Y)subdue all things to Himself.

Be Anxious for Nothing; Think These Thoughts

4 Therefore, my beloved and ^(Z)longed-for brethren, ^(AA)my joy and crown, so ^(AB)stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
