Colossians 3:1-11 ASV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:4

‘When Christ who is our life shall be revealed and made fully made known, then will you also be fully made known with him in glory.’ And what a glorious future awaits the Christian. For one day at His coming Christ will be made fully known. He will be revealed in all His glory (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Mark 13:26-27). We will see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). And then will the world see the glory that the Christian has in his oneness with Christ, for we will share His glory, and it will shine out... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:5-6

Our Christian Walk is To Reflect Our Glorious Privilege (Colossians 3:5 to Colossians 4:6 ). 1). The Man That We Were Has To Die (Colossians 3:5-11 ) ‘Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry, for the sake of which the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.’ Because we have died and have been raised into things above, the heavenlies, that which we have, as it were, left on earth... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:7

‘In the which you also walked previously, when you lived in these things.’ These sins and attitudes had once been theirs, as they had also been of the Jews (Mark 7:20-23). This was how they had once lived their lives. But having been raised to the spiritual realm they no longer live among these things. They live in a totally different environment, the heavenlies. And because of this they must be even more particular about their behaviour. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:8-10

‘But now you, also, put away all these: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking from the mouth. Do not lie, the one to the other, seeing you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of him who created him.’ Would you do these things in Christ’ presence? Would you not be deeply ashamed? Then you cannot do them in the spiritual realm. For that is where you are as the new man, and you live in the presence of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:11

‘Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman, but Christ is all in all.’ Once likeness to Christ becomes the objective all these divisions fall away. No Christian will want to be either one alternative or the other. They will want only to be His. They want their thoughts to be taken up with Him, as He is in the heavenlies where Christ is all. They want to be fully possessed and indwelt by Christ, to be ‘in Christ’. Thus all other... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:1-17

Colossians 3:1-Esther : . What it Means to be Risen with Christ.— Those who are risen with Christ must aspire to the things above, in the region of Christ’ s heavenly session at God’ s right hand. Their minds must be set, not on terrestrial things, but on things high and heavenly. So far as their old life was concerned they died ( i.e. in baptism); their life now is a hidden life in God. That is what it means to be united with Christ ( Colossians 3:3). It is Christ who is our life. Hidden... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 3:1

If ye then be risen with Christ: having refuted superstitious observances placed in things earthly and perishing, and called them off from shadows to mind the substance; he doth, upon supposition of what he had asserted before, Colossians 2:12,Colossians 2:13, here infer that, since they were risen again with Christ, it did behove them to set about the duties required of those in that state: not of the proper resurrection of the body, which, while here below, can only be in our Head by virtue... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 3:2

Set your affection on things above: that the hearts of believers here might be where their treasure is, the apostle here repeats his exhortation, using another word, importing they should intensely mind things above, Romans 8:5, viz. the inheritance reserved in heaven for us, 1 Peter 1:4, with heart and affections, together with all that Gcd hath appointed to be a furtherance to the enjoyment of it; not curiously to search the deep things of God, which cannot be found out, but to mind things... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Colossians 3:3

For ye are dead; the apostle adds another reason why the believing Colossians should not be earthly-minded, because they were dead, not absolutely, but in a certain respect, viz. of sin, and the world. 1. In regard of that carnal, corrupted, sin-infected life, received from our first parents by carnal generation, the life of the old man, altogether depraved, the real members of Christ are dead: see Colossians 2:11,Colossians 2:12,Colossians 2:20; Romans 6:2,Romans 6:4,Romans 6:6-8,Romans 6:11;... read more

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear; which will be, according to the purpose and promise of God, with whom it is laid up, Colossians 1:5, when Christ by whom they live shall so appear that they shall be like him, 1 John 3:2, and be taken to be with him in the heavenly inheritance, 1 Peter 1:4; then their conformity to him, began here, partly in holiness and partly in sufferings, Romans 8:18, shall be completed at last in glory and felicity, Philippians 3:21; Hebrews 11:26,Hebrews 11:35.... read more
