Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Colossians 3:9

Lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings.Lie not one to another ... This is added to the list mentioned in the previous two verses. Nielson writes that this is, "Literally, `lie not to yourself,' and suggests that one who lies may come to believe his own falsehoods."[29]Ye have put off the old man ... As frequently in Paul's writings, he here dramatically switched metaphors. He had been speaking of "putting to death," but here he changed to "put off," the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Colossians 3:5-11

1. Things to put off 3:5-11On the basis of their position in Christ, Paul urged his readers to separate from the practices of their former way of life. He did this to enable them to realize in their experience all that Jesus Christ could produce in and through them. Three imperatives indicate Paul’s main points: consider as dead (lit. put to death, Colossians 3:5), put aside (Colossians 3:8), and do not lie (Colossians 3:9). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Colossians 3:6-9

Such behavior will bring God’s wrath eventually. That is, God will discipline Christians as well as non-believers who practice these things. These activities normally characterize the unsaved, so Christians are to lay them aside (Colossians 3:8; cf. Matthew 5:29-30; Romans 8:13; Ephesians 5:3-14)."The Christian must kill self-centeredness; he must regard as dead all private desires and ambitions. There must be in his life a radical transformation of the will, and a radical shift of the centre.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Colossians 3:5-9

Colossians 3:5-9 contain the negative section of St. Paul’s practical appeal, drawing out the consequences of the “death with Christ,” in the mortification of all tendencies to impurity, malice, and falsehood. For these are the opposites to purity, love, and truth—the three great attributes of God, and therefore the three chief graces of man. read more
