13 My brethren, I do not consider that I have reached the goal; but this one thing I do know, forgetting those things which are behind me, I strive for those things which are before me, 14 I press toward the goal to receive the prize of victory of God’s highest calling through Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore let those of you who are perfect think these things over; and if you reason in any other way, God will reveal even that to you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same path and with one accord. 17 My brethren, be followers like me, and observe those who walk such a path, and then you will be examples as we are. 18 For there are many who live otherwise, of whom I have often told you, and now I tell you with tears that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ; 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; whose thought is on earthly things. 20 But our labours are in heavenly things, from whence we look for our Saviour, our LORD Jesus Christ, 21 Who shall transform our poor body, to the likeness of his glorious body, according to his mighty power, whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
