Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 3:13

_ _ I — whatever others count as to themselves. He who counts himself perfect, must deceive himself by calling sin infirmity (1 John 1:8); at the same time, each must aim at perfection, to be a Christian at all (Matthew 5:48).

_ _ forgetting those things ... behindLooking back is sure to end in going back (Luke 9:62): So Lot’s wife (Luke 17:32). If in stemming a current we cease pulling the oar against it, we are carried back. God’s word to us is as it was to Israel, “Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward” (Exodus 14:15). The Bible is our landmark to show us whether we are progressing or retrograding.

_ _ reaching forth — with hand and foot, like a runner in a race, and the body bent forward. The Christian is always humbled by the contrast between what he is and what he desires to be. The eye reaches before and draws on the hand, the hand reaches before and draws on the foot [Bengel].

_ _ unto — towards (Hebrews 6:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Philippians 3:9-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Philippians 3:13

I do not account myself to have apprehended this already; to be already possessed of perfect holiness.
