Philippians 3:12 in Context — Philippians 3
10 Afin de connaître Christ, et la puissance de sa résurrection, et la communion de ses souffrances, en devenant conforme à lui dans sa mort, pour parvenir,
11 si je puis, à la résurrection d’entre les morts.
12 Ce n’est pas que j’aie déjà remporté le prix, ou que j’aie déjà atteint la perfection; mais je cours, pour tâcher de le saisir, puisque moi aussi j’ai été saisi par Jésus-Christ.
13 Frères, je ne pense pas l’avoir saisi; mais je fais une chose: oubliant ce qui est en arrière et me portant vers ce qui est en avant,
14 je cours vers le but, pour remporter le prix de la vocation céleste de Dieu en Jésus-Christ.
