Philippians 3:16 - Exposition

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing . Omit, with the best manuscripts, the words from "rule" to "thing," and translate, R.V. , only , whereunto we have already attained , by that same ( rule ) let us walk ; or, more literally, only , what we arrived at , by that same walk. Let there be no falling back; let us, at each point in our Christian course, maintain and walk according to that degree of grace at which we arrived. This explanation seems more probable than the other view, which understands the words, "by the same," of the rule of faith as opposed to the works of the Law.
