Bible verse for January 8

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have taken hold of it yet. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

10 I want to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, 11 if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained this or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus also took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have taken hold of it yet. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 So let those of us who are mature think this way, and if you think differently about anything, God will reveal that to you as well. 16 Only let us keep in step with what we have already attained. 17 Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who live according to the example you have in us.
