Kolose 2:13

2:13 And even though you were dead in your ¹  transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless ²  made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

Kolose 2:20

2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits ³  of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world?

[2:13]  ¹ tn The article τοῖς (tois) with παραπτώμασιν (paraptwmasin) is functioning as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[2:13]  ² tn The word “nevertheless,” though not in the Greek text, was supplied in the translation to bring out the force of the concessive participle ὄντας (ontas).

[2:20]  ³ tn See the note on the phrase “elemental spirits” in 2:8.
