Philippians 3:10

3:10 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 3:21

3:21 who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.


tn The articular infinitive τοῦ γνῶναι (tou gnwnai, “to know”) here expresses purpose. The words “My aim is” have been supplied in the translation to emphasize this nuance and to begin a new sentence (shorter sentences are more appropriate for English style).

tn Grk “to know him, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.”

tn Grk “transform the body of our humility.”
