{When Christ shall be manifested} (hotan ho Christos
phaner(9374)h(8869)). Indefinite temporal clause with hotan and the
first aorist passive subjunctive of phanero(935c), "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 aut(9369)). That is the joy of
this blessed hope. He repeats the verb about us
phaner(9374)h(8873)esthe (future passive indicative) and adds en
dox(8869) (in glory). Not to respond to this high appeal is to be
like Bunyan's man with the muck-rake.
