Col. 1:27 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Col. 1:26      Col. 1:28

Colossians 1:27

God wanted to show them what rich glory this mystery is among (in) the Gentiles:
The Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) in (my midst) among you, the hope of glory.
[Paul wrote this to believers in Colossae who were not Jews. The Greek preposition en, used twice in verse 27, can mean both “in” and “among.” Paul may be referring to both meanings. That Jesus would welcome the Gentiles and dwell in their hearts was something astonishing. This is described as a “secret,” gr. mysterion. The same term was used in other teachings about secret higher knowledge that was only shared with an inner circle of enlightened people. This secrecy is not found in the Bible's use of the word; instead, it describes something that was hidden but is now revealed. Jesus is the secret, see Col. 2:2! He opens the door for all people to partake of salvation. Paul elaborates on this further in Eph. 3:1–6.]
