Colossians 1:24-26

1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body – for the sake of his body, the church – what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ. 1:25 I became a servant of the church according to the stewardship ¹⁰  from God – given to me for you – in order to complete ¹¹  the word of God, 1:26 that is, the mystery that has been kept hidden from ages and generations, but has now been revealed to his saints.

[25:3]  ¹ tn Heb “belonging to Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun.”

[25:3]  ² tn This name appears as “Izri” in v. 10.

[25:3]  ³ tc One Hebrew ms and some LXX mss supply the name “Shimei” after “Jeshaiah.” Most Hebrew mss omit the name here (but cf. v. 17).

[25:3]  ⁴ tc The list includes only five names. Apparently the name “Shimei” (see v. 17), which appears in one medieval Hebrew ms and in the LXX, has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text.

[25:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”

[25:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “and their number was, the men of work for their service.”

[10:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “stuck close after.”

[10:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “the Philistines.” The translation has substituted the pronoun “they” to avoid redundancy.

[10:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:25]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 697 s.v. οἰκονομία 1.b renders the term here as “divine office.”

[1:25]  ¹¹ tn See BDAG 828 s.v. πληρόω 3. The idea here seems to be that the apostle wants to “complete the word of God” in that he wants to preach it to every person in the known world (cf. Rom 15:19). See P. T. O’Brien, Colossians, Philemon (WBC), 82.
