Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,

Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

Make sure you are very strong and brave! Carefully obey all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep! Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful in all you do.

Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn yourself away from evil.

Each moved straight ahead -- wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
