This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Toward the goal (kata skopon). “Down upon the goal,” who is Jesus himself to whom we must continually look as we run (Heb 12:2). The word means a watchman, then the goal or mark. Only here in N.T.
Unto the prize (eis to brabeion). Late word (Menander and inscriptions) from brabeus (umpire who awards the prize). In N.T. only here and 1Co 9:24.
Of the high calling (tēs anō klēseōs). Literally, “of the upward calling.” The goal continually moves forward as we press on, but yet never out of sight.
