And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:18 Go To Colossians 1
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
He is the head of the body, the church. He now speaks of what applies to Christ as man.
The first-born from the dead; i.e. the first that rose to an immortal life. (Witham)
