¹⁴ I am pursuing down toward the goal+ for the prize*+ of the upward call+ of God by means of Christ Jesus.

¹² to the end that YOU should go on walking+ worthily of God who is calling+ YOU to his kingdom+ and glory.

3 Consequently, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling,*+ consider the apostle+ and high priest whom we confess*+—Jesus.
