colossians 1:11 strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously

< Colossians 1:9
Colossians 1:11 >

      11. Greek, "Being made mighty with (literally, 'in') all might."
      according to his glorious power--rather, "according to the power (the characteristic of 'His glory,' here appropriate to Paul's argument, Eph 1:19; 6:10; as its exuberant 'riches,' in Eph 3:16) of His glory." His power is inseparable from His glory (Ro 6:4).
      unto all patience--so as to attain to all patient endurance; persevering, enduring continuance in the faith, in spite of trials of persecutors, and seductions of false teachers.
      long-suffering--towards those whom one could repel. "Patience," or "endurance," is exercised in respect to those whom one cannot repel [CHRYSOSTOM].
      with joyfulness--joyful endurance (Ac 16:25; Ro 5:3, 11).
