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, being conformed to His death, |
that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; |
|
I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, |
[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] |
in order that I might come to know Him in an experiential way, and to come to know experientially the power of His resurrection and a joint-participation in His sufferings, being brought to the place where my life will radiate a likeness to His death, |
|
Now I long to know Christ and the power shown by His resurrection; now I long to share His sufferings, even to die as He died, so that I may somehow attain the resurrection from the dead. |
Yes, I long to come to know Him; that is, the power of His resurrection and so to share with Him His sufferings as to be continuously transformed by His death, |
