Colossians 2:10

And in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.

This is further elaboration of the power and Godhead of Jesus Christ. The Greek philosophers, or Gnostics, who might have been speculating on emanations from God, or beings operating independently of God, or as the Jewish errorists might have been advocating the worship of angels, or whatever - Paul unequivocally presented Christ as "the head of all principality and power," with the words of Matthew's Great Commission in the background of his thought, namely, "That all authority in heaven and upon earth" was in the hands of Jesus Christ. The angels are all servants of Christ, doing service for the followers of Christ (Hebrews 1:1-14); and angels, like Christians, worship him.

In him ye are made full ... Peake has a most interesting observation on this clause. Quoting Oltramare, he translated this verse, "In him ye are made perfect,"[35] which in the light of Colossians 1:28 is probably the correct rendition. As is well known, the Greek text in this part of Colossians is somewhat difficult.
