fulness dwell (ἐν αὐτῷ εὐδόκησεν πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα κατοικῆσαι). Εὐδοκέω to think it good, to be well pleased is used in the New Testament, both of divine and of human good-pleasure; but, in the former case, always of God the Father. So Matt. 3:17; Luke 12:32; 1 Cor. 1:21. The subject of was well pleased, God, is omitted as in Jas. 1:12, and must be supplied; so that, literally, the passage would read, God was well pleased that in Him, etc.* Rev., it was the good pleasure of the Father.
