Colossians 1:13

Context
1:13 He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves, 1 

Colossians 2:13

Context
2:13 And even though you were dead in your 2  transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless 3  made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

Colossians 4:10-11

Context

4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him). 4:11 And Jesus who is called Justus also sends greetings. In terms of Jewish converts, 4  these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me.

[1:13]  1 tn Here αὐτοῦ (autou) has been translated as a subjective genitive (“he loves”).

[2:13]  2 tn The article τοῖς (tois) with παραπτώμασιν (paraptwmasin) is functioning as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[2:13]  3 tn The word “nevertheless,” though not in the Greek text, was supplied in the translation to bring out the force of the concessive participle ὄντας (ontas).

[4:11]  3 tn Grk “those of the circumcision.” The verse as a whole is difficult to translate because it is unclear whether Paul is saying (1) that the only people working with him are Jewish converts at the time the letter is being written or previously, or (2) that Aristarchus, Mark, and Jesus Justus were the only Jewish Christians who ever worked with him. Verses 12-14 appear to indicate that Luke and Demas, who were Gentiles, were also working currently with Paul. This is the view adopted in the translation. See M. J. Harris, Colossians and Philemon (EGGNT), 207-8.
