This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When Christ shall be manifested (hotan ho Christos phanerōthēi). Indefinite temporal clause with hotan and the first aorist passive subjunctive of phaneroō, “whenever Christ is manifested,” a reference to the second coming of Christ as looked for and longed for, but wholly uncertain as to time. See this same verb used of the second coming in 1Jo 3:2.
Ye also together with him (kai humeis sun autōi). That is the joy of this blessed hope. He repeats the verb about us phanerōthēsesthe (future passive indicative) and adds en doxēi (in glory). Not to respond to this high appeal is to be like Bunyan’s man with the muck-rake.
