Holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
—Philippians 2:16
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 3:14
So many live a vain existence, but those who run as Paul did always have the highest goal in view, regardless of what circumstance they are in. This is a healthy Christian life.
