(Ap. 5:9‑13)
 On the one side, we have, in Him, God perfectly presented in all His fullness; on the other side, we possess in Him perfection and completeness before God. We are wanting in nothing as to our position before God. What a truth! What a position! (Colossians 2 by J.N. Darby)
 The Apostle then enters into some details of application to demonstrate that the faithful have all in Christ, viewed according to the position which He has taken without having anything to seek elsewhere here below. (Colossians 2 by J.N. Darby)
 In reality, the position of those angelic creatures before God is actually inferior to that of Christians! As sons of God in the new creation order, we are in a position that is far higher than angels. (Hindrances to Carrying Out the Truth of the Mystery: Colossians 2:4-19 by B. Anstey)

d
Pleroo, as ch. 1.9. Or "filled full," referring to all fulness being in him. The fulness or completeness of the Godhead is in Christ, as towards us; and we, as towards God, are complete in him. "Godhead" here is Theotes -- Godhead in the absolute sense -- not Theiotes, merely divine in character.
