Colossians 1:11

1:11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness, joyfully

Colossians 1:29

1:29 Toward this goal I also labor, struggling according to his power that powerfully works in me.


tn The expression “for the display of” is an attempt to convey in English the force of the Greek preposition εἰς (eis) in this context.

tn The Greek phrase εἴς ὅ (eis Jo, “toward which”) implies “movement toward a goal” and has been rendered by the English phrase “Toward this goal.”

tn The prepositional phrase ἐν δυνάμει (en dunamei) seems to be functioning adverbially, related to the participle, and has therefore been translated “powerfully.”
