NET Bible
"My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death,"
— Philippians 3:10, NET Bible
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
“that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; ”

“That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death,”
“That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;”
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”

and be found in him, not because I have my own righteousness derived from the law, but because I have the righteousness that comes by way of Christ’s faithfulness– a righteousness from God that is in fact based on Christ’s faithfulness.
My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death,
and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

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,
