Filipenses 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 3:15

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect
Not absolutely, but comparatively, with respect to other believers, in a lower class of knowledge and experience; and not with respect to degrees, but parts; and regards such who were not children, but of riper age in divine things, unless the words are spoken ironically:

be thus minded;
as the apostle was, to count what were gain to him, loss for Christ; to reckon all things but loss and dung, for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ; to be willing to suffer the loss of all things, to win him, ( Philippians 3:8 ) ; to desire to be found in him, and in his righteousness, and not a man's own, ( Philippians 3:9 ) ; to know more of him in his person, righteousness, sufferings, death, and resurrection from the dead, ( Philippians 3:10 ) ; and to attain to such a state, and yet to disclaim all perfection, and acknowledge their imperfection, ( Philippians 3:11 Philippians 3:12 ) ; and to forget things behind, and reach to those before, ( Philippians 3:13 ) ; and press towards the mark, Christ, for the prize of eternal glory, ( Philippians 3:14 ) :

and if in anything ye be otherwise minded;
as to seek for justification by the works of the law, or partly by Christ and partly by the law, and to imagine and expect perfection in this life:

God shall reveal even this unto you;
such errors will be made manifest sooner or later; the day will declare them, and such wood, hay, and stubble, will be burnt up by the fire, which will reveal every man's work, ( 1 Corinthians 3:12 1 Corinthians 3:13 ) .

Filipenses 3:15 In-Context

13 No, amados hermanos, no lo he logrado,
pero me concentro sólo en esto: olvido el pasado y fijo la mirada en lo que tengo por delante, y así

14 avanzo hasta llegar al final de la carrera para recibir el premio celestial al cual Dios nos llama por medio de Cristo Jesús.

15 Que todos los que son espiritualmente maduros estén de acuerdo en estas cosas. Si ustedes difieren en algún punto, estoy seguro de que Dios se lo hará entender;

16 pero debemos aferrarnos al avance que ya hemos logrado.

17 Amados hermanos, tomen mi vida como modelo y aprendan de los que siguen nuestro ejemplo.
