Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Colossians 2:2

That their hearts might be comforted - Like all other Christians in the times of the apostles, they were doubtless exposed to trials and persecutions.Being knit together in love - The same word which is used here (συμβιβάζω sumbibazō) occurs in Ephesians 4:16, and is rendered compacted; see the notes at that place. In Acts 9:22, it is rendered proving; Acts 16:10, assuredly gathering; 1 Corinthians 2:16, instruct; and here, and in Colossians 2:19, knit together. It means, properly, to make to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Colossians 2:1-3

Colossians 2:1-3. I would, &c. The apostle having declared, in the latter part of the preceding chapter, the commission which Christ had given to his apostles to preach salvation to the Gentiles through his death, and having described his own labours as an apostle in preaching that great blessing, and thereby having shown what great obligations mankind were under to him for communicating and perpetuating such interesting discoveries; he begins this second chapter with expressing an... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Colossians 2:1-5

Paul’s service for Christ (1:24-2:5)Some of the Colossians, confused by the clever arguments of the false teachers, might be tempted to accept their teaching. They might think that this teaching is more advanced, and therefore nearer the truth, than what they heard from Epaphras. Paul emphasizes that the gospel he and Epaphras preach is the only gospel. It has the authority of Christ, and its genuineness is proved in the experiences of those who preach it. Paul illustrates all this from his own... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Colossians 2:1

COL. 2This division of the Colossian letter is, of course, quite arbitrary; as someone said, Paul did not write four chapters, but wrote one letter! Nevertheless, the game plan in this series calls for going with the traditional divisions. After all, those divisions are already known to millions, and any new division would probably be just as inadequate and arbitrary as the old ones.This chapter deals with Paul's refutation of false doctrine, in which the emphasis by the apostle lies squarely... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Colossians 2:2

That their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of under standing that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.An unusually incisive and penetrating analysis of the whole paragraph which began at Colossians 1:24 and ends with these verses was written by Morgan thus:We find reference to a threefold mystery: (1) the church which is the body of Christ; (2) the secret... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:1

Colossians 2:1. What a great conflict— The words and metaphors in this and the preceding verse are taken from the athletic exercises in the Grecian games,and express the great solicitude, the kind of agony which St. Paul had upon his mind for them. See 2 Corinthians 11:2. The pains that he took to preach the gospel, and to assert their liberty against such as opposed; the troubles and difficulties which he now underwent upon this account, being actually in bonds for that cause; (ch. Col 1:24... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:2

Colossians 2:2. Might be comforted,— The original word παρακληθωσις signifies not only "to have consolation administered under affliction," but "to be exhorted and quickened, excited and animated; and so recovered from indolence and irresolution as well as dejection:" the expression rendered all riches of the full assurance of understanding, or the richest and most assured understanding, is extremely emphatical; more agreeable to the Hebrew than the Greek idiom; and it is one of the many... read more

1. For—He explains in what respect he "labored striving" ( :-). Translate as Greek, "I wish you to know how great a conflict (the same Greek word as in :-, "agony of a conflict" of fervent, anxious prayer; not conflict with the false teachers, which would have been impossible for him now in prison) I have for you." them at Laodicea—exposed to the same danger from false teachers as the Colossians (compare :-). This danger was probably the cause of his writing to Laodicea, as well as to... read more
