Colossians 3:15

3:15 Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.

Colossians 4:9

4:9 I sent him with Onesimus, the faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.


tn Grk “in one body.” This phrase emphasizes the manner in which the believers were called, not the goal of their calling, and focuses upon their unity.

tn The Greek sentence continues v. 9 with the phrase “with Onesimus,” but this is awkward in English, so the verb “I sent” was inserted and a new sentence started at the beginning of v. 9 in the translation.

tn Grk “is of you.”

tn Grk “will make known to you.” This has been simplified in the translation to “will tell.”
