“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled”
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell — plērōma (fullness, totality) of God dwells en autō (in him, Christ). The fullness is not distributed but concentrated: Christ contains God's entire plenitude. 'Was pleased to dwell' (eudokeō katoikeō) suggests God's deliberate choice: incarnation is divine purpose. The verb 'dwell' (katoikeō) indicates permanent presence, not temporary visit. This is maximal Incarnation theology.
