Colossians 3:14

Context
3:14 And to all these 1  virtues 2  add 3  love, which is the perfect bond. 4 

1 tn BDAG 365 s.v. ἐπί 7 suggests “to all these” as a translation for ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις (epi pasin de toutoi").

2 tn The term “virtues” is not in the Greek text, but is included in the translation to specify the antecedent and to make clear the sense of the pronoun “these.”

3 tn The verb “add,” though not in the Greek text, is implied, picking up the initial imperative “clothe yourselves.”

4 tn The genitive τῆς τελειότητος (th" teleiothto") has been translated as an attributive genitive, “the perfect bond.”
