Colossians 1:1

Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ⁵  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

¹ tn Heb “the nakedness of your father she is.” See the note on v. 7 above. This law refers to another wife of the man’s father, who is not that man’s mother. The laws in the Pentateuch sometimes assume the possibility that a man may have more than one wife (cf., e.g., Deut 21:15-17).

² tn Heb “a man.”

³ tn The verb is the same one used in verse 10b and suggests forcible sexual violation of the woman.

⁴ sn Sexual relations with one’s half-sister may be primarily in view here. See Lev 18:9; 20:17.

⁵ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
