Colossians 2:2-8 BSB

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Colossians 2:6-7

‘IN HIM’‘As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught.’ Colossians 2:6-Judges : There is a wonderful unity in Gospel truth; it all leads up to the one central Person. I. All revelation testifies of Christ, proceeds from Christ, reverts to Christ, finds in Christ its centre, guides us in the last resort to Him. Poor may our ministry be, yet let it only be true to its central object, which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1-3

Paul Reiterates His Great Concern for God’s People And Reminds Them Where True Wisdom Lies (Colossians 2:1-5 ) ‘For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, that their hearts may be strengthened, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.’ Paul... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:4-5

‘I say this so that no one may (or ‘let no one’) delude you with persuasive speech, for though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, full of joy and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.’ His purpose in showing them the supremacy of Jesus Christ, and that all worthwhile wisdom and knowledge are found in Him, was in order to combat those who came among them with persuasive words. For although he cannot be with them in body, yet he is truly among... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:6-7

‘As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith (or ‘your faith’), even as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.’ Paul’s usual term for Jesus Christ in Colossians is ‘Christ’. In Colossians 1:1 he opened by calling Him ‘Christ Jesus’, followed by ‘Christ’ (Colossians 1:2), ‘our Lord Jesus Christ’ (Colossians 1:3) and ‘Christ Jesus’ in Colossians 1:4. These have established identification and position. Then there... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:8

‘Watch carefully lest there shall be anyone who carries you off captive through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.’ Positively they must ensure their roots in Christ are firm, and that they are built up in Him and established in the faith taught by Apostolic men. But they are also... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1-2

Colossians 2:2 . Read mg. There is probably a controversial reference in what follows. The Divine secret or “ mystery” and the treasures of “ hidden” knowledge are to be found in Christ, and not in Gnostic speculations. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1-3

Colossians 1:24 to Colossians 2:3 . Paul’ s own Relation to them and to the Gospel.— At this very time, in the midst of his sufferings, Paul is rejoicing for their sakes, and in return for their loyalty he fills up the cup of whatever tribulation he must still endure in his own person as Christ’ s servant on behalf of His body, i.e. the Church, whose servant he was constituted in virtue of the Divine stewardship which was given him toward the Gentile world. This is the duty of fulfilling... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:4-23

Colossians 2:4-Isaiah : . An Urgent Warning against a Degrading Theosophy.— Let them not be led away by false reasonings, however persuasive. They must think of Paul, despite his bodily absence, as being with them in spirit ( 1 Corinthians 5:3 f.*), as a sharer of their joy, and a spectator of the ordered line and steadfast front of their loyalty to Christ. As, then, they received the Messiah, Jesus the Lord, so let them walk in Him, true to the instruction they received, rooted and built up... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:2

That their hearts might be comforted: whereas false teachers did endeavour to adulterate the Christian institution, the striving of the apostle’s holy soul here was, as in the former chapter, Colossians 1:28, to this end, that they might be complete and established Christians to the last. Being knit together in love; and as a proper means conductible to this good purpose, he would have them be joined or compacted together, be all of a piece, in the affection and exercise of love. And unto all... read more

In whom: this may relate eitter to the Divine mystery, wherein are in abundance all necessary doctrines to consolation and salvation stored up, respecting the foregoing verse; compare 1 Corinthians 2:7; Ephesians 3:3,Ephesians 3:4; in opposition to the vain show of wisdom seducers did boast of; or, (as the most ancient and modern take it), to Christ, the immediate antecedent: in whom, ( as we render it), i.e. in Christ, considered either: 1.
