Philippians Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:14
  
  the prize of the upward call: Paul understood that his hope, like that of his fellow anointed Christians, was to rule with Christ in heaven as part of the Messianic Kingdom. (2Ti 2:12; Re 20:6) “The upward call” [or “calling”] is, in effect, an invitation to be part of that heavenly Kingdom. However, the “partakers of the heavenly calling [or “invitation,” ftn.]” (Heb 3:1, 2) need to make their “calling and choosing sure” (2Pe 1:10) by proving “faithful” to that calling (Re 17:14). Only then can they receive “the prize” associated with that invitation.—See study note on Php 3:20.
