Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
When Christ shall be manifested (otan o Xristov fanerwqh). Indefinite temporal clause with otan and the first aorist passive subjunctive of fanerow, "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 I John 3:2.
Ye also together with him (kai umeiv sun autw). That is the joy of this blessed hope. He repeats the verb about us fanerwqhsesqe (future passive indicative) and adds en doch (in glory). Not to respond to this high appeal is to be like Bunyan's man with the muck-rake.
