Colossians 1:29
_ _ Whereunto — namely, “to present every man perfect in Christ.”
_ _ I also labour — rather, “I labor also.” I not only “proclaim” (English Version, “preach”) Christ, but I labor also.
_ _ striving — in “conflict” (Colossians 2:1) of spirit (compare Romans 8:26). The same Greek word is used of Epaphras (Colossians 4:12), “laboring fervently for you in prayers”: literally, “agonizing,” “striving as in the agony of a contest.” So Jesus in Gethsemane when praying (Luke 22:44): so “strive” (the same Greek word, “agonize”), Luke 13:24. So Jacob “wrestled” in prayer (Genesis 32:24-29). Compare “contention,” Greek, “agony,” or “striving earnestness,” 1 Thessalonians 2:2.
_ _ according to his working — Paul avows that he has power to “strive” in spirit for his converts, so far only as Christ works in him and by him (Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:13).
_ _ mightily — literally, “in power.” |
