    • 1:9

      the accurate knowledge: In this context, the expression “the accurate knowledge” appears twice, here and in the following verse. Paul prays that the Colossian Christians may be filled with accurate knowledge about God and His will.​—For a discussion of the Greek term rendered “accurate knowledge,” see study note on Eph 4:13.

      spiritual comprehension: That is, an understanding of spiritual things imparted by God’s spirit. It includes “the accurate knowledge of [God’s] will.” The person with such spiritual understanding sees things as Jehovah does.
