Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Philippians 3:10

_ _ That I may know him — experimentally. The aim of the “righteousness” just mentioned. This verse resumes, and more fully explains, “the excellency of the knowledge of Christ” (Philippians 3:8). To know HIM is more than merely to know a doctrine about Him. Believers are brought not only to redemption, but to the Redeemer Himself.

_ _ the power of his resurrection — assuring believers of their justification (Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:17), and raising them up spiritually with Him, by virtue of their identification with Him in this, as in all the acts of His redeeming work for us (Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12; Colossians 3:1). The power of the Divine Spirit, which raised Him from literal death, is the same which raises believers from spiritual death now (Ephesians 1:19, Ephesians 1:20), and shall raise their bodies from literal death hereafter (Romans 8:11).

_ _ the fellowship of his sufferings — by identification with Him in His sufferings and death, by imputation; also, in actually bearing the cross whatever is laid on us, after His example, and so “filling up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ” (Colossians 1:24); and in the will to bear aught for His sake (Matthew 10:38; Matthew 16:24; 2 Timothy 2:11). As He bore all our sufferings (Isaiah 53:4), so we participate in His.

_ _ made conformable unto his death — “conformed to the likeness of His death,” namely, by continued sufferings for His sake, and mortifying of the carnal self (Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 15:31; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20).

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Philippians 3:10

The knowledge of Christ, mentioned in Philippians 3:8, is here more largely explained. That I may know him — As my complete Saviour. And the power of his resurrection — Raising me from the death of sin, into all the life of love. And the fellowship of his sufferings — Being crucified with him. And made conformable to his death — So as to be dead to all things here below.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Philippians 3:10

(5) That I may (i) know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the (6) fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

(5) This is the end of righteousness by faith with regard to us, that by the power of his resurrection we may escape from death.

(i) That I may indeed feel him, and have an experience of him. (6) 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 at which we aim, and receive that reward to which God calls us in him. And the apostle sets these true exercises of godliness against those vain ceremonies of the Law, in which the false apostles put the sum of godliness.
