through the torture stake: Here the term “torture stake” (Greek, stau·rosʹ) is used to represent Jesus’ death on the execution stake. Jesus’ death was the basis for removing the Law, which was a barrier that separated the Jews from the non-Jews. Therefore, by accepting the reconciliation made possible by Jesus’ death, both peoples, Jews and non-Jews, could become “one body . . . through the torture stake.”—See also Col 1:20 and Glossary, “Stake”; “Torture stake.”
himself: Or possibly, “it,” that is, the torture stake.—Col 1:20; 2:13, 14.
