Paul’s Great Parallel in Colossians 2 and Ephesians 4
Colossians 2
4 Now this I say lest any man should beguile you with enticing words:
Ephesians 4
14 That we be no more children tossed to and fro, carried about by every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men’s cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive.
Colossians 2
3 That their hearts might be comforted being knit together in love unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God and of the Father and of Christ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
Colossians 2
19 The Head from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.”
Ephesians 4
15,16 The Head, Christ, from which the whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the Body unto edifying of itself in love
19 The Head from which
15,16 The Head, Christ, from which
19 the Body
16 the whole Body
19 by joints and bands knit together,
16 fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
19 having nourishment ministered,
16 supplieth
19 increaseth with the increase of God
16 according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase
7 in the faith as ye have been taught.
16 unto edifying of itself in love.
