Philippians 3:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

High calling, х tees (G3588) anoo (G507) kleeseoos (G2821)] - 'the calling that is above' (Galatians 4:26; Colossians 3:1); the "heavenly calling" (Hebrews 3:1). "The prize" is the "crown of righteousness" (2 Timothy 4:7-8; Revelation 2:10, "crown of life;" 1 Peter 5:4 "a crown of glory that fadeth not away.") "The high calling" is not Paul's calling as an apostle by God from heaven, but that of all Christians to salvation in Christ, which coming from, invites us to, heaven, where accordingly our minds ought to he uplifted (1 Thessalonians 2:12).
