歌羅西書 1章22節 到 1章22節     上一筆  下一筆
 {Yet now} (
uni de). Sharpened contrast with emphatic form
of 
un, "now" being not at the present moment, but in the
present order of things in the new dispensation of grace in
Christ. {Hath he reconciled} (apokat(886c)laxen). First aorist
(effective, timeless) active indicative (a sort of parenthetical
anacoluthon). Here B reads apokatallag(8874)e, be ye reconciled
like katallag(8874)e in  2Co 5:20  while D has apokatallagentes.
Lightfoot prefers to follow B here (the hard reading), though
Westcott and Hort only put it in the margin. On the word see
verse  20 . {In the body of his flesh} (en t(9369) s(936d)ati t(8873) sarkos
autou). See the same combination in  2:11  though in  Eph 2:14 
only sarki (flesh). Apparently Paul combines both s(936d)a and
sarx to make plain the actual humanity of Jesus against
incipient Docetic Gnostics who denied it. {Through death} (dia
tou thanatou). The reconciliation was accomplished by means of
Christ's death on the cross (verse  20 ) and not just by the
Incarnation (the body of his flesh) in which the death took
place. {To present} (parast(8873)ai). First aorist active
(transitive) infinitive (of purpose) of parist(886d)i, old verb, to
place beside in many connections. See it used of presenting Paul
and the letter from Lysias to Felix ( Ac 23:33 ). Repeated in
 Col 2:28 . See also  2Co 11:2  2Co 4:14 . Paul has the same idea
of his responsibility in rendering an account for those under his
influence seen in  Heb 13:17 . See  Ro 12:1  for use of living
sacrifice. {Holy} (hagious). Positively consecrated, separated
unto God. Common in N.T. for believers. Haupt holds that all
these terms have a religious and forensic sense here. {Without
blemish} (am(936d)ous). Without spot ( Php 2:15 ). Old word a
privative and m(936d)os (blemish). Common in the LXX for ceremonial
purifications. {Unreproveable} (anegkl(8874)ous). Old verbal
adjective from a privative and egkale(935c), to call to account,
to pick flaws in. These three adjectives give a marvellous
picture of complete purity (positive and negative, internal and
external). This is Paul's ideal when he presents the Colossians
"before him" (katen(9370)ion autou), right down in the eye of
Christ the Judge of all.
