Philippians 3:10-12 New English Translation (NET Bible)

10 My aim is to know him,[a] to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings,[b] and to be like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow,[c] to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already attained this—that is, I have not already been perfected—but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.[d]

Footnotes:

  1. Philippians 3:10 tn The articular infinitive τοῦ γνῶναι (tou gnōnai, “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).
  2. Philippians 3:10 tn Grk “to know him, the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.”
  3. Philippians 3:11 tn On εἰ πῶς (ei pōs) as “so, somehow” see BDAG 279, s.v. εἰ 6.n.
  4. Philippians 3:12 tn Grk “that for which I also was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.” The passive has been translated as active in keeping with contemporary English style.
