मसीह के साथ जिलाए गए — विश्वासी की वर्तमान स्थिति। हम उसके पुनरुत्थान में सहभागी हैं।

तुम्हारा जीवन मसीह के साथ परमेश्वर में छिपा है — विश्वासी की चरम सुरक्षा।

Christ, who is our life. Not Christ who gives life, though He does — Christ who is our life. The believer's very life is Christ Himself (Galatians 2:20, Philippians 1:21).

Then shall ye also appear with him in glory. The hidden life will be publicly revealed at Christ's return. The glory now concealed will then be displayed. The believer's destiny is to share in Christ's glory openly.

मार डालो — शल्यक्रिया भाषा। पाप को बढ़ने नहीं देना; मरना चाहिए।

पहन लो — कपड़े का दृष्टांत। पाँच गुण: करुणा, कृपा, दीनता, नम्रता, धीरज।

Above all these things, charity — love. Love is the outer garment that holds all the others together, the bond of perfectness. The other virtues without love would be incomplete; love binds them into a unified whole.

1 Corinthians 13 says the same — without love, all other virtues and gifts are nothing. Love is not one virtue among many but the integrating principle that gives all the others their value and coherence.

मसीह का वचन तुम में बसा रहे — वचन का स्थान: हृदय में, पुस्तक-शेल्फ में नहीं।

Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord. Every task, however menial, becomes worship when done for Christ. The context is servants working for masters — but the principle covers all work.

This transforms the meaning of ordinary labor. The believer has no secular work; all of it is done as to the Lord. The dishwasher, the clerk, the laborer — all serve Christ in their daily tasks. The audience is Christ, not men.
