Philippians 3:10

Know him; Christ in his true character, by trusting in him and experiencing the transforming effects of such knowledge in my own soul.

The power of his resurrection; according to some, the full power which the fact of his resurrection should have on the mind. But we may better understand here, as in Romans 6:4; Ephesians 1:19-20; Ephesians 2:1; Ephesians 2:5-6, the power of God manifested in the resurrection of Christ. The meaning then will be, that I may know, by blessed experience in my own person, the divine power which raised Christ from the dead: first, as manifested in quickening me more and more from my former death in sin to a life of holiness in Christ; secondly, as exerted in raising my body, as that of Christ was raised, to a glorious immortality.

The fellowship of his sufferings; the endurance of trials when called to it as Christ was, in communion with him and in the exercise of his spirit.

Conformable unto his death; his life of suffering which led to and ended in death; the same as "always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus," and "always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake." 2 Corinthians 4:10-11.
