Php Philippians, chapter Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 3
Since you desire to be perfected and since you have my example of not considering that I am already perfect, but of constantly striving to become more and more like Christ, follow my example.
Philippians 3:12-16
I do not claim that I have already become completely like Christ Jesus; that is, I have not already become all that God intends me to be [DOU]. But I earnestly try to become more and more like Christ, because he chose me in order that I might become like him. 1Co 13:12; 1Ti 6:12
