Philippians 3:12 in Context — Philippians 3
10 A fin de conocerle, y la virtud de su resurrección, y la participación de sus padecimientos, en conformidad á su muerte,
11 Si en alguna manera llegase á la resurrección de los muertos.
12 No que ya haya alcanzado, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si alcanzo [aquello] para lo cual fuí también alcanzado de Cristo Jesús.
13 Hermanos, yo mismo no hago cuenta de haber[lo] ya alcanzado; pero una cosa [hago]: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome á lo que está delante,
14 Prosigo al blanco, al premio de la soberana vocación de Dios en Cristo Jesús.
