About This Book

The edition presents a revised Greek text of the Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon accompanied by detailed introductions, linguistic and historical commentary, and critical notes. It examines the local churches of the Lycus valley, analyzes the Colossian heresy and its relation to Gnostic and Essenic currents, and develops the epistle's Christological theology. The volume includes line-by-line textual notes, discussion of variant readings and key terms (notably plērōma), disquisitions on authorship and interpolation questions, an appendix on the Epistle from Laodicea, and a concise introduction and annotated text of Philemon, all framed by nineteenth-century philological and exegetical methods.

Transcriber’s Note:

The original text includes annotations on two Greek texts, the Epistle to the Colossians, and an Epistle to Philemon. On each page, several lines of Greek are accompanied by a double column of notations on key words. It was not possible to follow that convention in this version, given the nature of our medium.

Any hyphenations in the Greek text that occurred on page breaks have been removed, and the word's end has been moved to the previous page. On many occasions, a note appears on an earlier page than the text it glosses. In this version, the notes have been arranged so that each follows the text to which it refers.

The Greek text appears in a larger font and has been fitted with ‘←’ and ‘→’ links which serve as ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons, which should aid in navigation across the pages as printed.

There are Greek inscriptions printed in an uncial font, and using a lunate sigma (ϲ). These will appear here as μιμηταί μου γίνεϲθε. The occasional blackletter font appears here as ‘blackletter text’.

Footnotes have been moved to follow the Index, and are resequenced to be unique across the text. Any internal references to those notes have been modified as well. Links are provided for ease of navigation.

The index includes references to both pages and to the verses of the two Epistles included here. Those references to a verse may refer to either the Greek itself, or to any of the notes on that verse.

The links provided in the Index will direct the reader to the page, or to the Greek verse itself. No attempt was made to link to the specific note.

Please consult the note at the end of this text for any other issues that arose during its presentation.

μιμηταί μου γίνεϲθε καθὼϲ κἀγὼ χριϲτοῦ.

Παῦλος γενόμενος μέγιστος ὑπογραμμός.
Clement.

Οὐχ ὡς Παῦλος διατάσσομαι ὑμῖν· ἐκεῖνος ἀπόστολος,
ἐγὼ κατάκριτος· ἐκεῖνος ἐλεύθερος, ἐγὼ δὲ μέχρι νῦν δοῦλος.
Ignatius.

Οὔτε ἐγὼ οὔτε ἄλλος ὅμοιος ἐμοί δύναται κατακολουθῆσαι
τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ μακαρίου καὶ ἐνδόξου Παύλου.
Polycarp.
