You memorized that verse wrong. It's "Christ in you, the hope of glory"
--and you exclude yourself?
Or is it because the preposition "eis" is not here?
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
(Christos en humin hē elpis tēs doxēs). He is addressing Gentiles, but the idea of en here is in, not among.
It is the personal experience and presence of Christ in the individual life of all believers that Paul has in mind, the indwelling Christ in the heart as in Eph_3:17. He constitutes also the hope of glory for he is the Shekinah of God. Christ is our hope now (1Ti_1:1) and the consummation will come (Rom_8:18).
Which is Christ in you; which is Christ,
amongst, for, or in them, i.e. who not only was preached amongst them, but whom they possessed, and who dwelt in them by faith, Eph_3:17; the revelation being accompanied with the power of the Spirit in the translating them by his glorious power from the kingdom of darkness into his kingdom, Col_1:13 Luk_17:21 Gal_2:20 4:19 Eph_3:5,7.
Not only among you, but in you. See on 2Co_13:5; living in you, Gal_2:20; dwelling and reigning in your hearts by faith, Eph_3:17; through the influence of his Spirit, Rom_8:9-10; Joh_14:20 : the hope of glory — The ground and source of that hope.
For Christ in us as our wisdom, enlightens our minds in the knowledge of that glory; as our righteousness, he entitles us to it; as our sanctification, he makes us meet for it; and as our redemption, brings us to the enjoyment of it. Whom we preach — Who, in believers, as their hope of glory, is the subject of our preaching.
The apostle mentions next the manner of their preaching: warning every man — Namely, of the necessity, excellence, and attainableness of this blessing; and teaching, or instructing, every man — Respecting the way of attaining it; or warning every man of his duty, and teaching him how to fulfil it; and of his danger, and teaching him how to avoid it; in all wisdom —
In a rational, Scriptural, and consistent manner; using solid and convincing arguments, and placing them in a clear and lucid order, and adapting the matter, manner, language, and time of our preaching, reproof, or exhortation, to the state, character, and circumstances of our hearers.
That we may present, &c. — This was the end of their preaching; what they had in view in the exercise of their ministry; namely, that at the bar of God, in the day of final accounts, they might present every man perfect —
Namely, having been made so while on earth; 1st, In an acquaintance with Christian doctrines, 1Co_2:6; Heb_5:12-14; Heb_6:1; Heb_2:2 d, In the possession of Christian graces, faith, hope, love to God and man, humility, resignation, patience, meekness, gentleness, long-suffering, &c., Heb_6:11; Heb_10:22; 1Jn_4:17; Col_3:12-14.
Now @Kermos would say-there is no one good, no, not even one-and that Adam was "evil" prior to eating from the tree, and you mention the "inner man"--so why can this , what stands written, not be a reality in the believers life?
Eph_3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in
the inner man;
Rom_7:22 for I delight in the law of God according to the
inward man,
This not a reality for the born again ones?
What do you make of the Second Person, Plural [+YOU?]
So
@Christophany is correct.
