I'm focusing on versus 13 of this chapter: and it reads "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus".
That verse says to me that Paul, was aware that he still had his flaws,even being in the active will of God, but that it does not stop him from getting right back up, and going after perfection. See i believe that God leaves us in our bonds for a while, to prove to us how bad we want him, that we don't so easily turn back to our unrighteous way, for if it came easy, then we would probably, easily let it go.
So in actuality, how bad we want God, will show in how dedicated we are, to becoming perfect.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Says Galatians 6:9
