Colossians 2:10

Verse 10

10. Complete The statement is double. First, Ye are in union with him; second, in virtue of that union, ye are filled full, as the word complete means, with all the plenitude of his gracious gifts. An empty philosophy can add nothing to this, and is therefore needless. Perfectly conclusive as this is, it is confirmed by the relation of Christ to the angels whom it is proposed to worship. He is the head of every order of them. As the unincarnate Son, he created them, Colossians 1:16; through his death (Colossians 2:15) he has brought them under the Headship of the divine-human Christ. He is their Lord, and alone to be adored, and they depend on him.
