Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Hindi sa ako y nagtamo na, o ako y nalubos na: kundi nagpapatuloy ako, baka sakaling maabot ko yaong ikinaaabot naman sa akin ni Cristo Jesus. Mga kapatid, hindi ko pa inaaring inabot: datapuwa t isang bagay ang ginagawa ko, na nililimot ang mga bagay na nasa likuran, at tinutungo ang mga bagay na hinaharap.
