“Without Excuses!” Philippians 3:12; Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Now in substance, Paul is placing himself in a process.) v13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. (And doing it without excuses.) Ephesians 4:27; Neither give place to the devil. 1 Corinthians 9:27; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. James 4:8; Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (In doing the above things, you avoid excuses, and stay in the process.) Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. “Without Excuses!”1 Samuel 13:11; And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; v12; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. v13; And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly. Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. “Without Excuses!” 1 Corinthians 10:13; There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; But will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (So) Galatians 6:9; And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. “Without Excuses!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
