In Philippians 3:10, Paul shares his motivation, and more specifically his compassion.
It is difficult to define this one word without taking the entire verse, but I will try.
He (Paul) says, "while being made conformable unto His death;"
So the first two things, the power of His resurrection, and fellowship of His suffering, just those two things, while something else is going on all the time, Paul says, while being made conformable to His death.
You see, Paul saw himself that if he was going to have fellowship with Christ, if he was going to belong to Christ, Jesus gave up, suffered and died for His mission.
Paul saw his life that every day, he's being more and more conformed to the death of Christ, that he too, in order to have his mission that God called him to, that he too would have to die every day, being conformed to the death of Christ.
