charisms in xli. appear to justify this consciousness of wealth; but ostentation corrupted Cor. riches; spiritual satiety is a sign of arrested growth: contrast Phil. iii. 10-14, and cf. Rev. iii. 17, ‘‘ Thou sayest, ὅτι Πλούσιός εἰμί καὶ πεπλού- τηκα”. χωρὶς ἡμῶν ἐβασιλεύσατε (aor. again), ‘“‘ Without us (without our help) you have come to your kingdom !’”’—‘ Gradatio: saturi, divites, reges’’ (Bg.). Paul was given to understand, by some Cor., that they had outgrown his teaching: ‘‘ Then,” he says, ‘‘you have surely entered the promised kingdom and secured its trea- sures, if God’s stewards have nothing more to impart to you!—I only wish you had!” so he continues in the words καὶ ὄφελόν ye κ.τ.λ., ‘Ay, I would indeed that you had entered the kingdom, that we too might share it with you!” Itis Paul’s sigh for the end. — Βασιλεύω (see parls.) can only relate to the βασιλεία Θεοῦ, the Messianic reign (20, vi. 9 f., xv. 50; N.T. passim; cf. Luke xxii. 28 ff.; vi. 2 f. below; the judicial as- sumptions of the Cor., in 3 ff., square with this); and the aor. in vbs. of ‘‘state” is inceptive (Br. § 41)—not “‘ you reigned,” but ‘became kings” (ἐβασιλεύσατε). This, of course, can only come about when Christ returns (see i. 7, 9, and notes); then His saints will share His glory (2 Tim. ii. Το).---ὄφελον (losing its augm.) isin N.T. and later Gr. practically an adv.; it marks, with following ind. past, an impracticable wish (Wr., p. 377); ye (to be sure) accentuates the personal feeling. Πλουτέω, βασιλεύω remind us again of Stoic pretensions; see note, ill, 22.
Ver. 9 gives reason in Paul’s sorrow- ful state for the wish that has escaped him. δοκῶ yap 6 Θεὸς κ.τ.λ. (ὅτι vanting after δοκῶ, as in vii. 40; so in Eng.): ‘*For, methinks, God has exhibited (spectandos proposuit, Bz.)
