My determined purpose is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognising 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 suffering as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death that if possible I may attain to the spiritual and moral resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead even while in the body.
