3:12. நான் அடைந்தாயிற்று, அல்லது முற்றும் தேறினவனானேன் என்று எண்ணாமல், கிறிஸ்து இயேசுவினால் நான் எதற்காகப் பிடிக்கப்பட்டேனோ அதை நான் பிடித்துக்கொள்ளும்படி ஆசையாய்த் தொடருகிறேன்.

3:12. நான் எப்படி இருக்க வேண்டுமென தேவன் விரும்புகிறாரோ அப்படி நான் ஏற்கெனவே இருக்கிறேன் என்று எண்ணவில்லை. நான் இன்று வரை கூட எனக்காக கிறிஸ்துவால் ஆக்கப்பட்ட அந்த குறிக்கோளை அடையவில்லை. ஆனால் தொடர்ந்து அந்தக் குறிக்கோளை அடைவதற்கான முயற்சியில் ஈடுபட்டிருக்கிறேன்.

3:12. Not that I have already attained this— that is, I have not already been perfected— but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.

3:12. I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me.

3:12. 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.

3:12. Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

3:12. Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may apprehend that for which also I was apprehended by Christ Jesus.

3:12. 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;

3:12. I don't mean that I am exactly what God wants me to be. I have not yet reached that goal. But I continue trying to reach it and make it mine. That's what Christ Jesus wants me to do. It is the reason he made me his.

3:12. Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

3:12. Not G3756 as though G3754 I had already G2235 attained, G2983 either G2228 were already perfect G5048 G2235 : but G1161 I follow after, G1377 if that G1499 I may apprehend G2638 that for G1909 which G3739 also G2532 I am apprehended G2638 of G5259 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
