Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:10

And ye; ye saints and holy brethren, Colossians 1:2, who have received Christ, Colossians 2:6,Colossians 2:7, and so are mystically united to him, in whom dwelleth all fulness (as you have heard); being in him, having one Spirit with him, as members with the head, Romans 8:1,Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:23, are complete; are implete, or filled, and so mediately and causally complete from the all-fulness that is in your Head, yet not immediately and properly complete with it (as some have been apt to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:11

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands: he removes what they who are addicted to superstition might suggest, as if there were somewhat defective to a completeness in Christ, by showing there was no need of any addition to what he required in the gospel; for that they might most plausibly urge of circumcision, as being the seal of the old covenant, and an obligation to the whole law, Galatians 5:3, which some pressed as necessary to salvation, Acts 15:1,Acts... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:12

Buried with him in baptism: he shows that in Christ they who are found have not only the thing signified, but right to the outward sign and seal, viz. baptism, in the room of circumcision abolished; the death and burial of Christ is not only the exemplar, but the cause of the death of the old man, signed and sealed in baptism: or, by baptism into death, Romans 6:3,Romans 6:4, analogically, or symbolically, or sacramentally, when the Lord, together with the external sign, conferreth his grace... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:13

And you, being dead in your sins: he further shows they had no need of circumcision in the flesh, Ephesians 2:11, having all in Christ for justification as well as sanctification, though they (as well as the Ephesians, see Ephesians 2:1,Ephesians 2:5) were by nature spiritually dead in sins, deprived of the life of grace, and separated from the life of glory. And the uncircumcision of your flesh; and having the foreskin of their flesh in paganism; which was true literally, but, considering the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:14

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us: having just before manifested God’s grace in the free forgiveness of all their trespasses, he doth here adjoin the foundation and means of this remission, viz. "Wiping out the bill of decrees," as one reads; or effacing and cancelling "the handwriting that was against us, which was contrary to us in traditions," as another, pointing after chirograph or handwriting: upon the matter in the explanation there will be no difference from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 2:15

And having spoiled; some render it, seeing he hath stripped or made naked, as runners and racers used to put off their clothes. Principalities and powers; hence some of the ancients read putting off his flesh (possibly by the carelessness of some scribes, writing that which signifies flesh instead of that which signifies principalities, in all the authentic copies); but besides that Christ hath not put off the human nature, only the infirmities of the flesh, 2 Corinthians 5:16; Hebrews 5:7, it... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Colossians 2:1-5

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESColossians 2:1. What great conflict—R.V. “how greatly I strive.” It is a repetition of the thought of the previous verse expressed in terms of the arena. For them at Laodicea.—About a dozen miles distant from Colossæ.Colossians 2:2. The mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.—The R.V. has greatly simplified this perplexing phrase: “The mystery of God, even Christ.” Of the eleven various readings extant (given by Lightfoot) that of our A.V. is to all... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Colossians 2:6-8

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESColossians 2:7. Rooted and built up.—St. Paul passes over rapidly from one conception to another of quite a different kind. We cannot call it mixed metaphor. We commonly speak of a new town planted or a house planted.Colossians 2:8. Beware lest any man spoil you.—R.V. “maketh spoil of you.” The word for “spoil” means “to lead away as booty,” as the Sabeans swooped down on the oxen and asses of Job and carried them away as their own property. Through philosophy and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Colossians 2:9-10

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESColossians 2:9. In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.—There is no minimising the significance of this statement. It is either true or it is the wildest raving of blasphemy. “Dwelleth”—has its settled abode. A change of prefix would give us the word in Luke 24:18. “Dost thou alone sojourn?” etc. Dualism separates God from matter as far as possible; the Incarnation unites Him for ever with it. “Great is the mystery.” “Godhead.” Though twice before in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Colossians 2:11-12

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESColossians 2:11. In whom also ye are circumcised … by the circumcision of Christ.—What to the Jew was a bodily act, at best symbolical and of no value otherwise, was to the Colossian disciple a spiritual renovation, so complete as to render the old symbol of it inadequate.Colossians 2:12. Buried … risen.—Referring to the definite acts when, as Christian converts, they went beneath the baptismal waters and emerged to live the faith thus publicly confessed. Through... read more
