Bryan, I really like your translation of Col.3:1-4 because I think it includes the underlying meaning behind the text.

Hey TC,

Thanks for the comments and for putting the challenge forward!

I wouldn’t put too much stock in my translation- I did just spend the afternoon translating this very passage, so I have been thinking about a lot of the issues anyways. If it was something that I translated coldly- I might not have caught some of those things.

Bryan, thanks for accepting the challenge. You’ve outdone yourself. Great stuff! I particularly like “shared in Christ’s resurrection” and “where Christ is- ruling over his kingdom with power and authority.”

Thanks for pointing out the allusions in verse 2. Yep, I should have included v. 4, but I thought it was too long for some working on the meme.
