Php 3:10  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 

Php 3:11  and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. 

Straining Toward the Goal

Php 3:12  Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

Php 3:13  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 

Php 3:14  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. 

Php 3:15  All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 

Php 3:16  Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
