Daniel's Literal Translation and Commentary
The Renewed Covenant by Daniel Gregg
"Colossians 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God" (DLT: torahtimes.org).
the body: το σωμα. or sacrifice, or fellowship. Paul's usage of "the body" here reinforces the correct interpretation of 2:17b, i.e. that "the body" means the corporate assembly of the the faithful. The text alludes to Ephesians 2:19-21, where the believer is joined as a building component as a fellow citizen of the commonwealth of Israel. (DLC: torahtimes.org)
