(12)Not that I already obtained [the prize][3:12], or have already been perfected; but I pursue onward, if I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. (13)Brethren, I do not count myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind, and reaching forth to the things before, (14)I pursue on toward the mark, for the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus. (15)Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be of this mind; and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you. (16)Nevertheless, whereto we have attained, in the same let us walk. (17)Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark those who so walk, as ye have us for an example. (18)For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ; (19)whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (20)For our citizenship[3:20] is in heaven; from whence we also look for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; (21)who will transform the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working with which he is able also to subject all things to himself. (1)Therefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. (2)I beseech Euodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord. (3)Yea, I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life. (4)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. (5)Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. (6)Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (7)And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (8)Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (9)The things also, which ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace will be with you. (10)But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye revived again in your care for my welfare; for which ye were also careful, but lacked opportunity. (11)Not that I speak in respect of want; for I learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. (12)I both know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in every thing, and in all things, I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. (13)I can do all things, in him who strengthens me.
