Kolose 1:1

Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ¹⁶  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

[18:6]  ¹ tc Heb “and David placed in Aram of Damascus.” The object נְצִיבִים (nÿtsivim, “garrisons”) appears to have been accidentally omitted from the text. See v. 13, as well as the parallel passage in 2 Sam 8:6, which includes it.

[18:6]  ² tn Or “delivered.”

[18:6]  ³ tn Or “wherever he went.”

[18:1]  ⁴ tn 2 Sam 8:1 identifies this region as “Metheg Ammah.”

[18:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the hand of the Philistines.” Here “hand” is figurative language for “control.”

[10:5]  ⁶ tn Or “sentries.” Some translate “outpost” (NIV) or “garrison” (NAB, NRSV, NLT) here (see 1 Sam 13:3). The noun is plural in the Hebrew text, but the LXX and other ancient witnesses read a singular noun here.

[13:3]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “struck down the Philistine official.” See the note at 1 Sam 10:5. Cf. TEV “killed the Philistine commander.”

[13:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “blew the ram’s horn in.”

[14:1]  ⁹ tn Or “the servant who was carrying his military equipment” (likewise in vv. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14).

[7:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “hand.”

[7:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “judged” (also in v. 17).

[7:16]  ¹² map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[7:17]  ¹³ tn Or perhaps “settled disputes for” (cf. NLT “would hear cases there”; NRSV “administered justice there”).

[23:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all the days.”

[23:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “him”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:1]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
