Colossians 3:14-17. And above all these things As including them all, and indeed being the source from whence they flow; put on charity Την αγαπην , love, namely, to God, his people, and all mankind; which is the bond of perfectness Which both contains the whole of Christian perfection, and connects all the parts of it together. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts Influence and govern all your intentions, affections, and dispositions, nay, and even your thoughts. Or, it... read more

As it is fit Both in regard of God’s command, and the evil that would arise from the neglect of this duty; in the Lord In obedience to the Lord, and in all lawful things.

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.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Colossians 3:18-25

Life in the home and in society (3:18-4:6)Harmony in the home depends on the husband’s showing understanding love to his wife, and the wife’s showing loyal submission to her husband (18-19). Children are to be obedient to their parents, but parents must treat their children with understanding and not be harsh or unreasonable (20-21).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Colossians 3:17

And whatsoever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord, giving thanks to God the Father through him.Do all in the name of the Lord ... This means to respect the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ in everything. The sectors in which this applies are: (1) that of personal morality and conduct; (2) the province of things done in public assemblies of Christians; (3) in the whole area of thought and action (word or deed); and (4) even in the secret purposes of the soul. In short, "do... read more
