Colossians 2:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Colossians 2:6

4 Now this I say ^alest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

5 For ^athough I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing¹ to see ^byour good order and the ^csteadfastness of your faith in Christ.

6 ^aAs you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

7 ^arooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding¹ in it with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest anyone¹ cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to ^athe tradition of men, according to the ^bbasic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

9 For ^ain Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead¹ bodily;

10 and you are complete in Him, who is the ^ahead of all principality and power.

Not Legalism but Christ

11 In Him you were also ^acircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by ^bputting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

12 ^aburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through ^bfaith in the working of God, ^cwho raised Him from the dead.

Colossians 2:6

"As therefore ye received (once for all; the aorist tense; from Epaphras) Jesus the Christ as your Lord (compare I Corinthians 12:3; II Corinthians 4:5; Philippians 3:8), so walk in Him." He says not merely, "Ye received" the doctrine of Christ, but "Jesus" Himself; this is the essence of faith (John 14:21, John 14:23; Galatians 1:16). Ye have received once for all the Spirit of life in Christ; carry into practice that life in your walk (Galatians 5:25). This is the main scope of the Epistle.
