Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.

I believe that was the NIV which is the default version at bible gateway. The word they translate as bodily form is the single word "Somatikos" and speaks of a corporeal or physical body. So form is just added by the NIV translators. The use of somatikos in reference to the "fullness of the Deity" should not be taken lightly. Paul is addressing an early form of Gnosticism which taught all matter is evil. The point I was making is that at the time that Paul wrote Col he used the present tense to describe Christ as the God/Man who still has a glorified Human body.
