And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
And if children, then heirs, х kai (G2532) kleeronomoi (G2818)] - 'heirs also.'
Heirs of God - of our Father's kingdom (compare Galatians 4:7, "and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ"),
And joint-heirs [ sungkleeronomoi (G4789 )] with Christ - as "the First-born among many brethren" (Romans 8:29), and as "Heir of all things" (Hebrews 1:2: compare Revelation 3:21, "To Him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne;"
If so be that we suffer with him [ sumpaschomen (G4841 )], that we may be also glorified together, х sundoxasthoomen (G4888)] - 'that we may be glorified with Him.' This necessity of conformity to Christ in suffering, in order to participation in His glory is taught alike by Christ Himself and by His apostles (John 12:24-26; Matthew 16:24-25; 2 Timothy 2:12).
