Colossians 2:19

2:19 He has not held fast to the head from whom the whole body, supported and knit together through its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God.


tn The Greek participle κρατῶν (kratwn) was translated as a finite verb to avoid an unusually long and pedantic sentence structure in English.

tn See BDAG 387 s.v. ἐπιχορηγέω 3.

tn The genitive τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of source, “from God.”
