L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1-23

CHRIST THE SOURCE OF WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE (vs.1-10) In verse 1 the unselfish faith and love of the apostle shines beautifully. He was as deeply concerned for believers who had not seen him as he was for his own converts. He had "great conflict" which involves prayerful exercise in combating the opposition of Satan's hosts against the truth. He loved the Church because Christ loved it, desiring all saints to be "knit together in love" (v.2). This is vitally connected with "all riches of the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Colossians 2:1-23

THE POLEMIC PART The Apostle spoke (Colossians 1:24 ; Colossians 1:28-29 ) about the suffering entailed by his ministry, and the labor endured to present “every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” Of course, he means every Christian, and by “perfect in Christ Jesus,” so far as the present life is concerned, he means, not perfect in the sense of faultless or sinless, but perfectly justified, and sanctified, and perfectly made meet for glory in Him. The word “perfect” is here borrowed from the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Colossians 2:1-9

Some Dangers Indicated Colossians 2:1-9 . Why should Paul the Apostle enter into any "conflict" about people or concerning people whom he had never seen? It is to be remembered that the Apostle Paul is writing to persons who had never seen him in the flesh, whom he had never seen, and with whom he had only opened indirect communication by a fellow-labourer. Yet he says he has a "great conflict" for the Colossians and the Laodiceans and the dwellers in Hierapolis. Why this conflict? Why not... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Colossians 2:4-10

(4) And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. (5) For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. (6) As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (7) Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. (8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1-7

1-7 The soul prospers when we have clear knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus. When we not only believe with the heart, but are ready, when called, to make confession with the mouth. Knowledge and faith make a soul rich. The stronger our faith, and the warmer our love, the more will our comfort be. The treasures of wisdom are hid, not from us, but for us, in Christ. These were hid from proud unbelievers, but displayed in the person and redemption of Christ. See the danger of enticing words;... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Colossians 2:1-99

Colossians 2 NOT ONLY DID Paul labour in teaching this great truth, but he laboured also in prayer, and this the more now that he was restrained from his former activity by prison walls. His prayers were so intense that he describes them as conflict. In this conflict he was led out specially on behalf of those he had never met face to face, such as the Colossians, the Laodiceans and others. He wanted them to come to a full knowledge of this secret and to have their hearts knit together in the... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Colossians 2:6-8

The apostle now builds up his admonition on this tactful premise: v. 6. As ye have, therefore, received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him; v. 7. rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding there in with thanksgiving. v. 8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. This admonition tended to be all the more effective, since the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Colossians 2:1-15

4. Anxiety of the Apostle about their being led away by false wisdom (Colossians 2:1-15.)1For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for1 you and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen2 my face in the flesh; 2that their hearts might be comforted, being knit together3 in love, and unto all riches4 of the full assurance [lit., of the fulness of assurance] of understanding, to the acknowledgment [full knowledge] of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ 3 [or... read more
