10. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,
11. so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
12. I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.
13. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
14. I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
