In Nicholas King’s English translation of the New Testament (2004), the translator decided to use bullet point lists in some case in the Ephesians, Colossians, and Titus. “There are elaborate groups of nouns strung together, and the sentences are rather long. I have tried, not entirely successfully, to make these long sentences more manageable by the use of bullet points.” One such list is Colossians 2:7-12:
Watch out that someone does not take you prisoner through philosophy and empty falsehood,
- according to the tradition of human beings, according to the elementals of the universe, and not according to Christ,
- because in Christ dwells all the fullness of divinity, in bodily form, and you are fulfilled in him,
- who is the head of all rule and authority
- in whom also you have been circumcised, with a circumcision not made by hands, by the stripping off of the body of flesh, by Christs circumcision, being buried with him in baptism
- in which you have also been raised through faith in the activity of God, who raised him from the dead.
