Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.Let the word of Christ — So the apostle calls the whole scripture, and thereby asserts the divinity of his Master.Dwell — Not make a short stay, or an occasional visit, but take up its stated residence.Richly — In the largest measure, and with the greatest efficacy; so as to fill and govern the whole soul. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:8

8. But now Having become alive with Christ. Ye also put off all these The passions herein enumerated by the apostle, besides the things previously mentioned; all sins of unkindness, of which some specimens are given. Anger Passion warmly venting itself outwardly. Wrath Passion boiling within. Malice Badness of heart. Blasphemy Calumnious speech. Filthy communication Not only obscene language, but all foul-mouthed abusiveness. These are all incompatible with a pure heart or the life of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:9

9. Lie not No lie is white in God’s sight. See on Ephesians 4:25, where the positive side of truthfulness is also enjoined. Lying was then and is now a frightfully prevalent vice of heathen communities. A converted heathen does not step at once from the vileness of his old life into the habit of the highest Christian morality. He must learn its laws. His conscience must be brought under their control. Even then he will need frequent and repeated admonition, accompanied with the motives and... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:10

10. And have put on the new man The regenerate nature, attained in the new birth, which is a new creation. Their action was a free submission of themselves to God’s working in them by his renewing power. This state, utterly incompatible at the outset with a life of selfishness and impurity, is one of growth and development. It is a characteristic of the new man that it is continually being renewed more and more after the image of Christ, the creator of this new man, who in himself... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:11

11. Where In this new order of humanity, of which Christ is the head and representative, no class distinction of worth, or privilege, or disability is recognized, whether based on national differences, as Greek and Jew; on previous religious forms, as circumcised and uncircumcised; on lowness in culture, as Barbarian and Scythian; or on social position, as bond and free. These differences remain as between man and man, but none of them affects their relation to Christ. He is all.... read more

b. Duty in culture and exercise of Christian graces, Colossians 3:12-14 . 12. Put on As putting off the old man carries with it his characteristic qualities, putting on the new man in like manner requires the possession of his virtues. They are to be as an outer garment, the first seen or felt in our intercourse with others. As the elect Chosen on gospel terms, as God’s spiritual Israel, to possess and exhibit these graces. Bowels of mercies Answering to the term tender-hearted in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:13

13. Forbearing As to present offences, thus emphasizing the last two virtues. Forgiving The past, freely, absolutely, lovingly. Quarrel Better, ground of complaint. Even as Christ Here is the model for our forgiving. For the maintenance of governmental authority he must require the offender to ask forgiveness. So may we when we are, like him, upholders of law. But the spirit which led him to the cross, that he might buy the chance to forgive, will, if it be in us, beget forgiveness of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:14

14. Above all… charity Of this spiritual robing, love is the outer garment. It is the love, literally; the well-known love, often standing as the representative and sum of all the graces of the Christian, but here as a beautiful and important addition. The bond The girdle binding together all the other graces into a perfect whole, thus keeping each article of this spiritual dress in its proper place and office. So love is both the supplement and the inspiration of all the rest. read more
