Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way...
Being mature is not being perfect, but knowing that we're not yet perfect at all because of the fallen nature of this world contaminated with sin. Also, being mature means pursuing Jesus Christ, to know him more and more with faith and with works, despite the sin that besets us time and time again in this life.
