Colossians 3:3

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Ver. 3. For ye are dead ] Crucified to the world, as Paul,Galatians 6:14; Galatians 6:14 , weaned as a child from the breasts, or rather botches of the world, as David, Psalms 131:2 . Dead also in regard of daily miseries, Isaiah 26:19 ; 1 Corinthians 15:31 .

And your life is hid ] As the pearl is hid, till the shell be broken; or as the life of flowers in winter is hidden in the root; or as God hid Christ under the carpenter’s son.
