13 Brothers, 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, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s {Theou} heavenly calling in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves). 15 All of us who are mature (complete) should embrace this point of view. And if you⁺ think differently about some issue, God {Theos} will reveal this to you⁺ as well. 16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained. 17 Join one another in following my example, brothers (and sisters), and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you⁺. 18 For as I have often told you⁺ before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One). 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory {doxa} is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior {Sōtēra} from there, the Lord {Kyrion} Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One), 21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
