Verse from Colossians

你们也是在他里面得了丰盛。他是一切执政掌权者的元首。

‭‭歌罗西书‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭


“and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭


In Colossians 2:6–13, Paul highlights the idea of fullness. In verse 9, he uses the word plērōma, which refers to filling to capacity, to describe the extent to which Christ exemplifies and demonstrates deity. There’s no part of Jesus in which God doesn’t dwell; He’s fully God (see Colossians 1:15–20; Hebrews 1:3).


Conversely, in Colossians 2:10, Paul uses the verb plēroō to describe our being brought to fullness in Christ. Rather than fullness being something we have, it’s something that’s done to us and in us; we’re completed in Jesus. This word is often used to describe the fulfillment of prophecies about Christ—they were fulfilled—giving the word the sense of completion or accomplishment.
