rwp Colossians:1:14
rwp@Colossians:1:14 @{In whom} (\en hi\). In Christ as in strkjv@Ephesians:1:7|. This great sentence about Christ carries on by means of three relatives (\en hi\ 14|, \hos\ 15|, \hos\ 18|) and repeated personal pronoun (\autos\), twice with \hoti\ (15,19|), thrice with \kai\ (17,18,20|), twice alone (16,20|). {Our redemption} (\tn apolutrsin\). See on ¯Romans:3:24| for this great word (_Koin_), a release on payment of a ransom for slave or debtor (Hebrews:9:15|) as the inscriptions show (Deissmann, _Light, etc._, p. 327). {The forgiveness of our sins} (\tn aphesin tn hamartin\). Accusative case in apposition with \apolutrsin\ as in strkjv@Ephesians:1:7| ({remission}, sending away, \aphesis\, after the {redemption} \apolutrsis\, buying back). Only here we have \hamartin\ (sins, from \hamartan\, to miss) while in strkjv@Ephesians:1:7| we find \paraptmatn\ (slips, fallings aside, from \parapipt\).
