Colossians 1:7
_ _ As ye also learned — “Also” is omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The insertion implied that those inserting it thought that Paul had preached the Gospel to the Colossians as well as Epaphras, Whereas the omission in the oldest manuscripts implies that Epaphras alone was the founder of the Church at Colosse.
_ _ of — “from Epaphras.”
_ _ dear — Greek, “beloved.”
_ _ fellow servant — namely, of Christ. In Philemon 1:23 he calls him “my fellow prisoner.” It is possible that Epaphras may have been apprehended for his zealous labors in Asia Minor; but more probable that Paul gave him the title; as his faithful companion in his imprisonment (compare Note, see on Colossians 4:10, as to Meyer’s conjecture).
_ _ who is for you, etc. — Translate, “who is faithful in your behalf as a minister of Christ”; hinting that he is one not to be set aside for the new and erroneous teachers (Colossians 2:1-23). Most of the oldest manuscripts read, “for (or ‘in behalf of’) US.” Vulgate, however, with one of the oldest manuscripts, supports English Version. |
