{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 rabeus (umpire who awards the
prize). In N.T. only here and 1Co 9:24 . {Of the high calling}
( (8873) an(9320)kl(8873)e(9373)). Literally, "of the upward calling." The goal
continually moves forward as we press on, but yet never out of
sight.
