Here is a different translation of Phillippians 3:10 and other verses complimentary of the same idea of "Knowiong God." “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father -- have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with and understand Him; appreciate heed and cherish Him -- and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind for the Lord searches all hearts and minds, and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts. If you seek Him -- inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity -- you will find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off for ever!” (I Chronicles 28:9) “All has been heard. The end of the matter is, Fear God -- know that He is, revere and worship Him -- and keep His commandments; for this is the whole of man [the full original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole duty for every man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) “That you may really come to know -- practically, through experience for yourselves -- the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience); that you may be filled through all your being unto all the fullness of God -- that is may have the richest measure of the divine Presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself.” (Ephesians 3:19) “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...” (Philippians 3:10)
