rwp - Colossians:3:4

rwp@Colossians:3:4 @{When Christ shall be manifested} (\hotan ho Christos phanerthi\). Indefinite temporal clause with \hotan\ and the first aorist passive subjunctive of \phanero\, "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 strkjv@1John:3:2|. {Ye also together with him} (\kai humeis sun auti\). That is the joy of this blessed hope. He repeats the verb about us \phanerthsesthe\ (future passive indicative) and adds \en doxi\ (in glory). Not to respond to this high appeal is to be like Bunyan's man with the muck-rake.
