Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Earnest expectation (apokaradokian). In Paul alone from apokaradokew (in papyri). See on Romans 8:19 for only other example.
Shall be magnified (megalunqhsetai). Future passive indicative of megalunw, old verb, to make great, from megav (great). See Acts 19:17.
In my body (en tw swmati mou). See Romans 12:1 f. It is harder often to make Christ great in the body than in the spirit.
