Footnotes

  1. Colossians 1:18 tn See the note on the term “firstborn” in 1:15. Here the reference to Jesus as the “firstborn from the dead” seems to be arguing for a chronological priority, i.e., Jesus was the first to rise from the dead.
  2. Colossians 1:18 tn Grk “in order that he may become in all things, himself, first.”
