with this goal in mind, ¹  I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God ²  in Christ Jesus.

You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had, ¹ 

since it was because of the work of Christ that he almost died. He risked his life so that he could make up for your inability to serve me. ¹ 

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance ¹  through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

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. ¹
