Philippians 3:15
Compare all
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have1 apprehended; but one thing I do, aforgetting those things which are behind and breaching forward to those things which are ahead,  
14 aI press toward the goal for the prize of bthe upward call of God in Christ Jesus.  
15 Therefore let us, as many as are amature, bhave this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, cGod will reveal even this to you.  
16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already1 attained, alet us walk bby the same rule, let us be of the same mind.  

Our Citizenship in Heaven

17 Brethren, ajoin in following my example, and note those who so walk, as byou have us for a pattern.  
18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are athe enemies of the cross of Christ:  
19 awhose end is destruction, bwhose god is their belly, and cwhose glory is in their shame—dwho set their mind on earthly things.

Philippians 3:15

Philippians 3:15 As many as be perfect. It cannot mean perfect in the absolute sense, for he declares that he is not perfect, and surely the Philippians were not in advance of the apostle who admonishes them. See Philippians 3:12. Meyer says the Greek word here ("teleioi") means mature, well developed, not children in Christ. Let such as are so far advanced be thus minded. Show the spirit indicated in 7:14 If in anything ye are otherwise minded. If you have not the mind to count all else as refuse in contrast with Christ, etc. God shall reveal even this unto you. Will bring you to this state of mind. Of course this clause shows that he does not address those whom he believes to be "perfect".
