Word Pictures in the NT [Colossians: Chapter 2]. "against" rather than "with" or "for." See \pros\ in sense of {against} in 3:13; Eph 6:11f.; 2Co 5:12; 1Co 6:1. \Pl•smon•\ is an old word from \pimpl•mi\, to fill and means satiety. It occurs here only in the N.T. Peake is inclined to agree with Hort and Haupt that there is a primitive corruption here. But the translation in the Revised Version is possible and it is true that mere rules do not carry us very far in human conduct as every father or mother knows, though we must have some regulations in family and state and church. But they are not enough of themselves.

Word Pictures in the NT [Colossians: Chapter 3]. [Table of Contents] [Previous] [Next] 3:1 {If then ye were raised together with Christ} (\ei oun sun•gerth•te t•i Christ•i\). Condition of the first class, assumed as true, like that in 2:20 and the other half of the picture of baptism in 2:12 and using the same form \sun•gerth•te\ as then which see for the verb \sunegeir•\. Associative instrumental case of \Christ•i\. {The things that are above} (\ta an•\). "The upward things" (cf. Php 3:14), the treasure in heaven (Mt 6:20). Paul gives this ideal and goal in place of merely ascetic rules. {Seated on the right hand of God} (\en dexi•i tou theou kath•menos\). Not periphrastic verb, but additional statement. Christ is up there and at God's right hand. Cf. 2:3. 3:2 {Set your mind on} (\phroneite\). "Keep on thinking about." It does matter what we think and we are responsible for our thoughts. {Not on the things that are upon the earth} (\m• ta epi t•s g•s\). Paul does not mean that we should never think the things upon the earth, but that these should not be our aim, our goal, our master. The Christian has to keep his feet upon the earth, but his head in the heavens. He must be heavenly-minded here on earth and so help to make earth like heaven. 3:3 {For ye died} (\apethanete gar\). Definite event, aorist active indicative, died to sin (Ro 6:2). {Is hid} (\kekruptai\). Perfect passive indicative of \krupt•\, old verb, to hide, remains concealed, locked "together with" (\sun\) Christ, "in" (\en\) God. No hellish burglar can break that combination. 3:4 {When Christ shall be manifested} (\hotan ho Christos phaner•th•i\). Indefinite temporal clause with \hotan\ and the first aorist passive subjunctive of \phanero•\, "whenever Christ is manifested," a reference to the second coming of Christ as looked for and longed for, but wholly uncertain as to time. See this same verb used of the second coming in 1Jo 3:2. {Ye also together with him} (\kai humeis sun aut•i\). That is the joy of this blessed hope. He repeats the verb about us \phaner•th•sesthe\ (future passive indicative) and adds \en http://www.ccel.org/r/robertson_at/wordpictures/htm/COL3.RWP.html (1 of 9) [28/08/2004 09:23:44 a.m.] Word Pictures in the New Testament (Colossians: Chapter 3)
