This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Which is His body (ἥτις)
The double relative is explanatory, seeing it is: by which I mean. Body, a living organism of which He is the head. See on Col 1:18.
The fullness
See on Joh 1:16; see on Rom 11:12; see on Col 1:19. That which is filled. The Church, viewed as a receptacle. Compare Eph 3:10.
That filleth all in all (τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου)
Better, that filleth all things with all things. The expression is somewhat obscure. All things are composed of elements. Whatever things exist, God from His fullness fills with all those elements which belong to their being or welfare. The whole universe is thus filled by Him.
