Philippians 3:12
Not as though I had already attained. Had already obtained the
great prize. It still requires effort. The prize is at the end of the
race.
Either were already perfect. He never claimed to have received
such a state; nor does he intimate any where that such a state is ever
reached on earth.
But I follow after. Press on, as one who must push forward.
If that I may apprehend. The idea is, I press on in the hope that
I shall lay hold upon the prize.
That for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus. He will seek
to lay hold of that for which Christ laid hold of him at conversion,
viz., his eternal salvation.
