5. Colossians 2:9-ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ κατοικεῖ πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τῆς θεότητος σωματικῶς,

Comment: Murray J. Harris thinks κατοικεῖ in this verse is a "timeless present," hence the verb is supposed to denote "permanently dwells" or "continues to live." So Harris reasons that the Godhead permanently dwells in Christ bodily, that is, he continues to be enfleshed forever and fully divine. See Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament.

Barth L. Campbell offers this explanation for 2:9: "The verb 'dwells' (κατοικεῖ) is a metaphor that suggests the residence of the Shekinah in the tabernacle of the OT. The fullness of deity has its 'permanent' or 'fixed abode'39 in bodily form."
