Colossians 3:3
For ye are dead. "For ye died" (Revised Version). This is a reason
for not loving earthly things. We died to the world, crucified with
Christ, and were buried. See notes on Colossians 2:12, Ro 6:2, Ga 2:20. This
death was a definite act, like the burial and the rising, not a state.
The Revised Version is a great improvement on such passages.
And your life is hid with Christ in God. They died, but they are
not dead. Yet the world does not see their true life, the eternal
principle within. Their life is in Christ, and can never be fully
manifested until he shall be manifest.
