Dear Oun,
First, I think TOU GNWNAI initiates an independent genitive clause, which
kind of extends as a run-on sentence from the previous material. Verses 7-11
are one long sentence.
Secondly, I think GNWNAI has three objects:
TOU GNWNAI 
	AUTON KAI 
	THN DUNAMIN THS ANASTASEWS AUTOU KAI 
	[THN] KOINWNIAN [TWN] PAQHMATWN AUTOU
I would paraphrase the key portions as "to know...what it is to share his
sufferings".

Two questions from Phi 3:10

Quoting 3:9-10

(9) KAI hEUREQW EN AUTW
MH ECWN EMHN DIKAIOSUNHN THN EK NOMOU
ALLA THN DIA PISTEWS CRISTOU
THN EK QEOU DIKAIOSUNHN EPI TH PISTEI
(10)
TOU GNWNAI AUTON KAI THN DUNAMIN THS ANASTASEWS AUTOU
KAI [THN] KOINWNIAN [TWN] PAQHMATWN AUTOU
SUMMORFIZOMENOS TW QANATW AUTOU

Question 1: How does TOU GNWNAI (v.10) connect with v. 9? Or does it
begin a new sentence somehow?
Question 2: Is KOINWNIAN (v. 10) (accusative) an object of the verb
GNWNAI? If then, what would it mean to say 'know fellowship'?

Thanks for your help.

Oun Kwon
