Philippians 3

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

12 Ref Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

13 Ref brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

14 Ref to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Ref As many, therefore, as `are' perfect -- let us think this, and if `in' anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

16 Ref but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think;

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

12 Ref Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

13 Ref Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing `I do', forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

14 Ref I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Ref Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:

16 Ref only, whereunto we have attained, by that same `rule' let us walk.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

12 Ref Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

13 Ref Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

14 Ref I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Ref Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

16 Ref Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.
