A QBI “Main Scripture Index” for the Epistle to the Colossians, Part 2

by

Dear Friends,
What follows is the second half (covering chapters 3 and 4) of the newly finished Main Scripture Index for the Epistle to the Colossians, which I have prepared for addition to the Quaker Bible Index (the “QBI”), an online resource currently hosted by Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, USA. Its web address is https://qbi.earlham.edu/ . By navigating to that web address, you may access the Introduction, the Key to sources, Main scripture indexes for other books of the Bible, and other parts of the QBI that will help you understand and use the data arrayed below. I especially recommend your reading the Key to sources and making your own printout of it until you can remember, without referring to it, that GF7: 167 is a reference to page 167 in volume 7 of George Fox’s 8-volume Works, and IP3: 533 is a reference to page 533 in volume 3 of Isaac Penington’s Works.
Unfortunately, I’m reliably informed that Earlham College currently lacks the resources to repair broken links in the QBI, or to add new books of the Bible to its Main Scripture Indexes. For that reason, as the current custodian of the QBI, I’m seeking a new institutional host for the QBI. Until a suitable institution is found, I can’t make “dead” links in this new Main Scripture Index “live,” or, as I’d prefer to say, to make as-yet-unawakened hypertext links in it become operative. But if, as and when the Lord wills, I trust, that necessary help will come. And in the meantime, I continue to do what I can do best, which is, at the current moment, turn the Summary index for the Acts of the Apostles into a Main scripture index. If you feel an inward motion to pray for this work, I’ll be grateful for your obedience to it.
