rwp - Colossians:2:7

rwp@Colossians:2:7 @{Rooted} (\errizmenoi\). Perfect passive participle of old verb \rizo\ from \riza\, root. In N.T. only here and strkjv@Ephesians:3:17|. Paul changes the figure from walk to growing tree. {Builded up in him} (\epoikodomoumenoi en auti\). Present passive participle (rooted to stay so) of \epoikodome\, old verb, to build upon as in strkjv@1Corinthians:3:10,12|. The metaphor is changed again to a building as continually going up (present tense). {Stablished} (\bebaioumenoi\). Present passive participle of \bebaio\, old verb from \bebaios\ (from \bain, bai\), to make firm or stable. {In your faith} (\ti pistei\). Locative case, though the instrumental case, {by your faith}, makes good sense also. {Even as ye were taught} (\kaths edidachthte\). First aorist passive indicative of \didask\, an allusion to \parelabete\ in verse 6| and to \emathete\ in strkjv@1:7|. {In thanksgiving} (\en eucharistii\). Hence they had no occasion to yield to the blandishments of the Gnostic teachers.
