Read Colossians 3.1-17. In 3.1: Right hand of God, see Ps 101.1. In verses 5-11: On the use of vice lists in Paul, see Rom 1.29-31; Gal 5.19-21. Hellenistic teachers often used vice and virtue lists to challenge their students. In verse 11: Barbarian, non-Greek, Scythian, a wild person: no longer will there be a different ethnic groups and subgroups. The author commends ethnic and class equality but not the equality of the sexes as found in Gal 3.28. In verse 16: See Eph 5.19. Comments or Questions..
