Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:13 Go To Colossians 1
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Freed thus from the condition of darkness, that is, plucked from the infernal place, in which we were held by the devil both because of our own and because of Adam’s transgression, who is the father of sinners, we were translated by faith into the heavenly kingdom of the Son of God. This was so that he might show us by what love God loved us, when, raising us from deepest hell, he led us into heaven with his true Son. .
