忘記背後,努力面前 Forgetting What is Behind and Straining Toward What is Ahead
腓利比書 Philippians 3:13-14
1 弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了;我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,向著標竿直跑,要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。

哥林多前書 I Corinthians 9:26-27
所以,我奔跑不像無定向的;我鬥拳不像打空氣的。我是攻克己身,叫身服我,恐怕我傳福音給別人,自己反被棄絕了。
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
