Hos is a small word with great freight: it introduces relative clauses, often telling us who Jesus is. Hymn-like passages like Philippians 2:6 and Colossians 1:15 hinge on it: “who (hos), though in the form of God…,” “who (hos) is the image of the invisible God.”

Most of the New Testament’s portraits of Christ — pre-existent, incarnate, crucified, risen, exalted — come strung along these relative clauses. Hos is the grammatical thread that ties the church’s confession of Christ together.
