13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this [one thing] I do, forgetting [those things which are behind,] and [reaching forth] unto [those things which are before,]
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Paul pointedly repeats his statement of v. 12 that he has not yet reached the final goal. He catches the attention of his readers (ἀδελφοί) and expresses himself vividly, using the imagery of a runner who has one object in view, namely that of finishing the race and winning the prize.
