Commentary
to us--believers. of whom--from whom as Creator all things derive their existence. we in him--rather, "we for Him," or "unto Him." God the FATHER is the end for whom and for whose glory believers live. In Col 1:16 all things are said to be created (not only "by" Christ, but also) "for Him" (CHRIST). So entirely are the Father and Son one (compare Rom 11:36; Heb 2:10). one Lord--contrasted with the "many lords" of heathendom (Co1 8:5). by whom-- (Joh 1:3; Heb 1:2). we by him--as all things are "of" the Father by creation, so they (we believers especially) are restored to Him by the new creation (Col 1:20; Rev 21:5). Also, as all things are by Christ by creation, so they (we especially) are restored by Him by the new creation.
