"It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified" (Galatians 3:1, ESV), "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:10-11).
