spiritual life. The σῶμα σαρκικόν must perish: that is the fate of σάρξ. If there be no πνεῦμα, and thus no σῶμα πνευµα- τικόν, the end is destruction. But the σῶμα πνευματικόν is precisely that in which Christ rose from the dead and in which He now lives. Its outward sem- blance is δόξα, a glory which shone forth upon Paul from the risen Christ on the Damascus road, which he could never forget. Hence all in whom Christ has operated as πνεῦμα ζωοποιοῦν will be “changed into the same likeness from glory ( ) to glory’. Paul does not here reflect on the time when the trans- formation takes place. That is of little moment to him. The fact is his supreme consolation. On the whole discussion see esp. Hitzm., N.T. Th., ii., pp. 80-81 and Heinrici on 1 Cor. xv. 35 ff.; for the future δόξα cf. Apocal. of Bar., xv. 8 (Ed. Charles).—nara τ. ἐνέργ. ἐνέργεια is only used of superhuman power in N.T. Quia nihil magts incredibile, nec magis a sensu carnis dissentancum quam resurrec- tio: hac de causa Paulus infinitam Dei potentiam nobis ponit ob oculos quae omnem dubitationem absorbeat. Nam inde nascitur diffidentia quod rem ipsam metimur ingeniit nostri angustiis (Calvin). ---τοῦ δύν. '' His efficiency which con- sists in His being able,” etc. The begin- nings of this use of the genitive of the infinitive without a preposition appear in classical Greek. But in N.T. it was extended like that οἵ ἵνα. Οὗ, e.g., Acts xiv. 9, 2 Cor. viii. 11. See Blass, Gram., Ρ. 229; Viteau, Le Verbe, p. 17ο.---ὑπο- τάξαι. Cf. τ Cor. i. 24-28. --- ἑαυτῷ. αντω must be read with the best authori- ties. How is it to be accented? Is it to be αὑτῷ or αὐτφὸ W.H. read the former, regarding this as one of the exceptional cases where “a refusal to admit the rough breathing introduces language completely at variance with all Greek usage without the constraint of any direct evidence, and solely on the
strength of partial analogies” (Ν.Τ., ii., Append.,p.144). On the other hand, Blass (Gram., p. 35, note 2) refuses to admit αὑτῷ. Winer, although preferring αὐτῷ, leaves the matter tothe judgment of edd. Buttmann gives good reasons for usually reading attr. (Gram., p. 111). Certainly αὐτοῦ is quite common as a reflexive in Inscriptions of the Imperial age (see Meisterhans, Gram. d. Att. Inschrr., 8 59, 5). To sum up, it cannot be said that the aspirated form is impossible, but ordinarily it is safer to omit the aspirate.

It seems better toregard this as drawing the conclusion from iii. 17-21 than to refer it to the whole of the discussion in chap. iii—ordp. p. Cf. the combination in 1 Thess. ii. 19, τίς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἐλπὶς ἢ χαρὰ ἢ στέφανος καυχήσεως ; the meaning is best seen from chap. ii. 16. He is thinking of the Shristian
“*day of Christ”. His loyal C converts will then be his land of victory, the clear proof that he has not
run in vain. Cf. 1 Cor. ix. 24-25, Sirach vi. 31. στεφανόω often means “to re- ward,” see Dsm., BS., p. 261.--- οὕτω. That is, according to the type which has been described in chap. iii. 17 Π.--- στήκετε is a word of late coinage, be- longing to the κ language, and leaving as its survival the modern Greek στέκω.
