11. Greek, "Faithful is the saying." For —"For" the fact is so that, "if we be dead with Him (the Greek aorist tense implies a state once for all entered into in past times at the moment of regeneration, Romans 6:3 ; Romans 6:4 ; Romans 6:8 ; Colossians 2:12 ), we shall also live with Him." The symmetrical form of "the saying," Colossians 2:12- : , and the rhythmical balance of the parallel clauses, makes it likely, they formed part of a Church hymn (see on Colossians 2:12- : ), or accepted formula, perhaps first uttered by some of the Christian "prophets" in the public assembly ( Colossians 2:12- : ). The phrase "faithful is the saying," which seems to have been the usual formula (compare 1 Timothy 1:15 ; 1 Timothy 3:1 ; 1 Timothy 4:9 ; Titus 3:8 ) in such cases, favors this. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
