Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 4:7-9

7-9 Ministers are servants to Christ, and fellow-servants to one another. They have one Lord, though they have different stations and powers for service. It is a great comfort under the troubles and difficulties of life, to have fellow Christians caring for us. Circumstances of life make no difference in the spiritual relation among sincere Christians; they partake of the same privileges, and are entitled to the same regards. What amazing changes Divine grace makes! Faithless servants become... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 4:10-18

10-18 Paul had differed with Barnabas, on the account of this Mark, yet he is not only reconciled, but recommends him to the churches; an example of a truly Christian and forgiving spirit. If men have been guilty of a fault, it must not always be remembered against them. We must forget as well as forgive. The apostle had comfort in the communion of saints and ministers. One is his fellow-servant, another his fellow-prisoner, and all his fellow-workers, working out their own salvation, and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Colossians 4:1-99

Colossians 4 IN THE THIRD case, that of the masters, the prominent thought is not that of love but of righteousness. Every Christian master should be continually asking himself in regard to his servants, “What is just? What is fair?” And further he is to remember that he himself is a servant with his Master in the heavens a Master who has laid it down that, “With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Here, then, are six items of instruction which if obeyed would go far... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Colossians 4:2-9

Prayer and Daily Living Colossians 4:2-9 We must pray more. Our lives cannot maintain the Godward attitude without prolonged seasons of communication with Him through the Word. This is so important that we must be ever on the watch against whatever might mar the life of devotion. Intercession will often unlock frost-bitten lips and make our souls glow. Withal praying also for us . If we are shut in and cannot perform active service, we can surely pray for those who are entrusted with the... read more
