This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
19. ἠλπικότες ἐσμέν. The meaning of this form differs to a certain extent from that of the simple perfect. The latter relates to the action of the persons referred to. The participle with ἐσμέν refers to their condition.

ἐλεεινότεροι πάντων ἀνθρώπων. Literally, more to be pitied than all men. Because of the sufferings and labours and persecutions they endured for a creed which was false after all. See notes on ch. 1Co 4:9-13.
