# God has raised you with Christ

As God has raised Christ to heaven, so God counts the believers in Colossae as though he has also raised them to heaven. "Raised" here is an idiom for "established." AT: "God has established you with Christ" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

To sit at Gods “right hand” is an idiom that means that Christ is ruling as God, with Gods authority. AT: "God has caused Christ to rule as King." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]).

2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
As Christ actually died, so God counts the Colossian believers as having died with Christ. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# your life is hidden with Christ in God

2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Paul speaks of people's lives as if they were objects that can be hidden in containers and speaks of God as if he were a container. AT: Possible meanings are 1) "it is as though God has taken your life and concealed it with Christ in God's presence" or 2) "only God knows what your true life really is, and he will reveal it when he reveals Christ" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
