NASB | Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 3:16 Let the [spoken] word of Christ have its home within you [dwelling in your heart and mind--permeating every aspect of your being] as you teach [spiritual things] and admonish and train one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. |
Bible Question:
In Col.3:16 and Eph. 5:19, what is to be understood by the writer's inference to"psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, is it literal or figurative? |
Bible Answer: The Apostle is urging us here to set our minds upon our duties to God. This is to me quite literal. The singing of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs is a directive from God, and is an act of obedience with the purpose of glorifying Him by voicing our joy and attributing all to Him. |
