perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13. Brethren, I count not myselft to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before.

Greek
- ἀδελφοί ἐγὼ ἐμαυτὸν οὐ λογίζομαι κατειληφέναι· ἓν δέ τὰ μὲν ὀπίσω ἐπιλανθανόμενος τοῖς δὲ ἔμπροσθεν ἐπεκτεινόμενος

Jesus.

15. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal
even this unto you.

Greek
- Ὅσοι οὖν τέλειοι τοῦτο φρονῶμεν· καὶ εἴ τι ἑτέρως φρονεῖτε καὶ τοῦτο ὁ θεὸς ὑμῖν ἀποκαλύψει·

16. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule,
let us mind the same thing.

Greek
- πλὴν εἰς ὃ ἐφθάσαμεν τῷ αὐτῷ στοιχεῖν κανόνι, τὸ ἀυτο φρονεῖν
