{Ye are made full} (este pepl(8872)(936d)enoi). Periphrastic
perfect passive indicative of pl(8872)o(935c), but only one predicate,
not two. Christ is our fulness of which we all partake ( Joh
1:16 Eph 1:23 ) and our goal is to be made full of God in Christ
( Eph 3:19 ). "In Christ they find the satisfaction of every
spiritual want" (Peake). {The head} (h(8820)kaphal(885c)). There is no
other place for Christ. He is first ( 1:18 ) in time and in rank.
All rule and authority comes after Christ whether angels, aeons,
kings, what not.
