3:12. ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ನಾನು ಇದೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಸಾಧಿಸಿ ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯನ್ನು ಗಳಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾನು ಆ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನು ಇನ್ನೂ ಮುಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಆ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟಿ ಅದನ್ನು ನನ್ನದಾಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಇದು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಅಪೇಕ್ಷೆ. ಆದಕಾರಣವೇ, ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ತನ್ನವನನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡನು.

3:12. ಇಷ್ಟ ರೊಳಗೆ ನಾನು ಪಡಕೊಂಡು ಸಿದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಬಂದವನೆಂದು ಹೇಳುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ನಾನು ಯಾವದನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ಯೇಸು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಂಡನೊ ಅದನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಹಿಂದಟ್ಟುತ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೇನೆ.

3:12. Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

3:12. I don't mean that I am exactly what God wants me to be. I have not yet reached that goal. But I continue trying to reach it and make it mine. That's what Christ Jesus wants me to do. It is the reason he made me his.
