Faithful brothers …
The Modern Korean Bible translates the term
"faithful brothers" (Colossians 1:2) as "brothers who believe in Christ."
In other words, "faithful brothers" are those who continue to faithfully believe in Jesus Christ.
"Faithful brothers" are:
- Full of faith,
- Trustful and trustworthy,
- Loyal to Christ (KJV Bible Commentary).
"Faithful brothers in Christ" are those who are loyal to Christ
and serve as faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:5),
following the Lord honestly in everything (Psalm 101:6),
being faithful in even the smallest things (Luke 16:10),
remaining faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10),
and receiving both the praise from the Lord (Luke 19:17)
"Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little"
and the crown of life from Him (Revelation 2:10).
