The Advance of the Gospel
12 I want you to know, brothers,1 that what has happened to me rhas really served to advance the gospel,
25 hConvinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your iprogress and joy in the faith,
Straining Toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already qperfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: rforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 sI press on toward the goal for the tprize of the upward ucall of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are vmature think this way, and if in anything wyou think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
