“Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.”
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus — the goal (skopos, mark) is upward call (klēsis anoō tou Theou en Christō): heavenly calling. 'Prize' (brabeion, victor's award) is the resurrection-transformation. 'Upward' (anoō) signals eschatological direction: toward God. Paul's pursuit is cosmic: earthly running toward heavenly terminus.
