Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

1 Corinthians 12:26

illustrates the unselfish solicitude of the bodily organs; the nervous connexion makes it a veritable συμπάθεια (συμπάσχει). Plato applies the same analogy to the State in a striking passage in his Politicus, 462C;.see also Cm [1929], ad loc [1930] δοξάζεται (glorificatur, Cv [1931]; not gloriatur, Vg [1932]) goes beyond nervous sympathy; “ δόξα is more than εὐεξία ” (Ed [1933]): for δοξάζω, applied to the body, cf. 1 Corinthians 15:40 ff., Philippians 3:21. Cm [1934] says finely, “When the head is crowned, the whole man feels itself glorified; when the mouth speaks, the eyes laugh and are filled with gladness”.
