Romans 8:18

λογίζομαι γὰρ. The reference to δόξα in Romans 8:17 leads to the consideration of all that is involved in that final and full manifestation of GOD.

οὐκ ἄξια κ.τ.λ. Cf. 2 Corinthians 4:17 f. ἄξια … πρός, no exact parallel to this use: = are of no weight in comparison with: = οὐδενὸς ἄξια; cf. Plato, Gorg. p. 471E, qu. S. H. For the use of πρὸς = compared with, judged by the standard of, cf. Galatians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 3:4; Kuhring, De praep. Gr. p. 22.

μέλλουσαν�. A periphrasis for fut. part, but emphasising the certainty of the event, ἀποκ. aor. refers to the final revelation; cf. Galatians 3:23; 1 Peter 5:1.

εἰς ἡμᾶς. Cf. ἐπί, Romans 1:18; ἐν Galatians 1:16 : εἰς implies the shedding of the glory upon us from an external source: for the thought cf. 2 Corinthians 5:2.
