Footnotes
- 33 The word “only,” though not in the Greek text, is supplied in the English translation to bring out the force of the Greek phrase.
- 34 Grk “but the body of Christ.” The term body here, when used in contrast to shadow (σκιά, skia) indicates the opposite meaning, i.e., the reality or substance itself.
- 35 The genitive τοῦ Χριστοῦ (tou Christou) is appositional and translated as such: “the reality is Christ.”
