Philippians 3:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]That I may [b]know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and the [c]fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable unto his death,
11 If by any means I might attain unto the [d]resurrection of the dead:
12 Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am [e]comprehended of Christ Jesus.

- Philippians 3:10 This is the end of righteousness by faith touching us, that by the virtue of his resurrection we may scape from death.
- Philippians 3:10 That I may feel him indeed, and have a trial of him.
- Philippians 3:10 The way to that eternal salvation is to follow Christ’s steps, by afflictions and persecutions, until we come to Christ himself, who is our mark whereat we shoot, and receive that reward whereunto God calleth us in him. And the Apostle setteth these true exercises of godliness against those vain ceremonies of the Law, wherein the false apostles put the sum of godliness.
- Philippians 3:11 To life everlasting, which followeth the resurrection of the Saints.
- Philippians 3:12 For we run not, but so far forth, as we are laid hold on of Christ, that is, as God giveth us strength, and showeth us the way.
Philippians 3:10-12
New International Version
10 I want to know(A) Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings,(B) becoming like him in his death,(C) 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection(D) from the dead.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,(E) but I press on to take hold(F) of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.(G)
