Phillipians 3

Thank you, Christ Jesus, that you have made me your own. Now I haven’t got it all together, and I am not already made perfect (yet), but one thing I do; I forget what lies behind me and I strain forward to what lies ahead.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God, my father, in Christ Jesus. Let those who are mature agree with me and we press on together. And for those who think otherwise, I leave it to you, father, to reveal your gospel to them.

I keep my eyes on those who walk in good and true doctrine. My citizenship is in heaven and from it, I await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform my lowly body to be like his glorious body by his divine power.

That power, Lord, enables you to do all that you promised to do. Therefore, I stand firm in you, my lord, and, my beloved.
