Colossians 1:1
Context1:1 From Paul, 14 an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
[6:2] 1 tn The Piel of חָיָה (khayah) may mean: (1) to keep/preserve persons alive from the threat of premature death (1 Kgs 20:31; Ezek 13:18; 18:27); (2) to restore the dead to physical life (Deut 32:39; 1 Sam 2:6; cf. NCV “will put new life in us”); or (3) to restore the dying back to life from the threat of death (Ps 71:20; BDB 311 s.v. חָיָה).
[6:2] 2 tn Heb “after two days” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV). The expression “after two days” is an idiom meaning “after a short time” (see, e.g., Judg 11:4; BDB 399 s.v. יוֹם 5.a).
[6:2] 3 tn Heb “on the third day” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV), which parallels “after two days” and means “in a little while.” The “2-3” sequence is an example of graded numerical parallelism (Prov 30:15-16, 18-19, 21-23, 24-28, 29-31). This expresses the unrepentant overconfidence of Israel that the
[138:7] 5 tn Heb “against the anger of my enemies you extend your hand.”
[61:11] 6 tn Or perhaps, “righteousness,” but the context seems to emphasize deliverance and restoration (see v. 10 and 62:1).
[61:11] 7 tn Heb “and praise before all the nations.”
[11:25] 8 tn That is, will come to life.
[12:24] 9 tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”
[12:24] 10 tn Or “it remains only a single kernel.”
[12:24] 12 tn Grk “much fruit.”
[12:1] 13 tn Grk “whom Jesus,” but a repetition of the proper name (Jesus) here would be redundant in the English clause structure, so the pronoun (“he”) is substituted in the translation.
[1:1] 14 tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
