Email me. I wrote a term paper on Colossian 2:16-18, but just on those verses the paper is 15 pages long. Those are huge sections of scripture, perhaps you should just go to the Library and look in commentaries.
***UPDATE***
Terry, You do not know what exegetical means obviously.

1 Corinthians 13 -
This chapter 1Co_13:1-13 is a continuation of the subject commenced in 1 Cor. 12. In that chapter Paul had introduced the subject of the various endowments which the Holy Spirit confers on Christians, and had shown that these endowments, however various they were, were conferred in such a manner as best to promote the edification and welfare of the church. In the close of that chapter 1Co_12:31 he had said that it was lawful for them to desire the most eminent of the gifts conferred by the Spirit; and yet says that there was “one” endowment that was more valuable than all others, and that might be obtained by all, and that he proposed to recommend to them. That was love; and to illustrate its nature, excellency, and power, is the design of this exquisitely beautiful and tender chapter. In doing this, he dwells particularly on three points or views of the excellency of love; and the chapter may be regarded as consisting of three portions.
I. The excellency of love above the power of speaking the languages of men and of angels; above the power of understanding all mysteries; above all faith, even of the highest kind; and above the virtue of giving all one’s goods to feed the poor, or one’s body to be burned. All these endowments would be valueless without love, 1Co_13:1-3.
II. A statement of the characteristics of love; or its happy influences on the mind and heart, 1Co_13:4-7.
III. A comparison of love with the gift of prophecy, and with the power of speaking foreign languages, and with knowledge, 1Co_13:8-13. In this portion of the chapter, Paul shows that love is superior to them all. It will live in heaven; and will constitute the chief glory of that world of bliss.
There's a start for you. If you want the rest then download the Free e-Sword software from the Freeware link on the Free Stuff page @ http://web.express56.com/~bromar/ and then download some free commentaries from that site to go with it.

Well there is an average of 6 varied translations of all of your cites depending on edition and editor of Bible you use. Therefore your claim of "Exegetical" is false.
ex·e·get·ic also ex·e·get·i·cal --adj. Of or relating to exegesis; critically explanatory. --
I know exactly what it means and answered it exactly as it means. Your ignorance is excused JC.
