The Pulpit Commentary - Colossians 3:12-17

What particularly we are to put on. How we are addressed. "Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved." The Colossian Christians had been elected by God out of a state of heathenism. By arrangements over which they had exercised no control, the gospel had been brought to them and had been the means of their conversion. As elected by God, they were consecrated to God and were in the enjoyment of the Divine love. The Colossian Christians were not exceptional. We have been elected by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Colossians 3:12-17

The marks, method, and motive of the Christian life. This paragraph is part of the practical application of the great principle St. Paul has been expounding in this chapter, viz. the Christian's death to evil through the death of Christ, and life to holiness through his life. We have here— I. THE MARKS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE . When the Christian life is illustrated, as here, by a garment, the analogy must not be pressed too far.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Colossians 3:11

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew - See this fully explained in the notes at Galatians 3:28. The meaning here is, that all are on a level; that there is no distinction of nation in the church; that all are to be regarded and treated as brethren, and that therefore no one should be false to another, or lie to another.Circumcision nor uncircumcision - No one is admitted into that blessed society because he is circumcised; no one is excluded because he is uncircumcised. That distinction is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Colossians 3:5-17

3:5-4:6 THE CHRISTIAN’S NEW LIFEOld and new habits (3:5-17)Not only do Christians believe that through Christ’s death they have died to sin, but they must also show it to be true in their daily lives. They must make every effort to put away the old selfish habits that God hates, from obvious sins such as sexual immorality to hidden sins such as greed and other uncontrolled desires (5-7). They must control the tongue and discipline personal behaviour. This renewing of their lives is not... read more
