PAUL TO THE COLOSSIANS + +Colossa was a city of Phrygia, near Laodicea. It does not appear that +St. Paul had preached there himself, but that the Colossians were +converted by Epaphras, a disciple of the Apostles. However, as St. Paul +was the great Apostle of the Gentiles, he wrote this Epistle to the +Colossians when he was in prison, and about the same time that he wrote +to the Ephesians and Philippians. The exhortations and doctrine it +contains are similar to that which is set forth in his Epistle to the +Ephesians. + + +Colossians Chapter 1 + +He gives thanks for the grace bestowed upon the Colossians and prays for +them. Christ is the head of the church and the peacemaker through his +blood. Paul is his minister. + +1:1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, +a brother: + +1:2. To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus who are at +Colossa. + +1:3. Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord +Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus +Christ, praying always for you. + +1:4. Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have +towards all the saints. + +1:5. For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have +heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, + +1:6. Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and +bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day +you heard and knew the grace of God in truth. + +1:7. As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is +for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus; + +1:8. Who also hath manifested your love in the spirit. + +1:9. Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray +for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his +will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: + +1:10. That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being +fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God: + +1:11. Strengthened with all might according to the power of his glory, +in all patience and longsuffering with joy, + +1:12. Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be +partakers of the lot of the saints in light: + +1:13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath +translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, + +1:14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of +sins: + +1:15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every +creature: + +The firstborn... That is, first begotten; as the Evangelist declares, +the only begotten of his Father: hence, St. Chrisostom explains +firstborn, not first created, as he was not created at all, but born of +his Father before all ages; that is, coeval with the Father and with the +Holy Ghost. + + +1:16. For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible +and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or +powers. All things were created by him and in him. + +1:17. And he is before all: and by him all things consist. + +1:18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, +the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy: + +1:19. Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness +should dwell: + +1:20. And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace +through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth +and the things that are in heaven. + +1:21. And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind +in evil works: + +1:22. Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, +to present you holy and unspotted and blameless before him: + +1:23. If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and +immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is +preached in all the creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am +made a minister. + +1:24. Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things +that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, +which is the church: + +Wanting... There is no want in the sufferings of Christ in himself as +head: but many sufferings are still wanting, or are still to come, in +his body the church, and his members the faithful. + +1:25. Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, +which is given me towards you, that I may fulfil the word of God: + +1:26. The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but +now is manifested to his saints, + +1:27. To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this +mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory. + +1:28. Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in +all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. + +1:29. Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he +worketh in me in power. + +Colossians Chapter 2 + +He warns them against the impostures of the philosophers and the Jewish +teachers, that would withdraw them from Christ. + +2:1. For I would have you know what manner of care I have for you and +for them that are at Laodicea and whosoever have not seen my face in the +flesh: + +2:2. That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity and +unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the +mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus: + +2:3. In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. + +2:4. Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words. + +2:5. For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you, +rejoicing, and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith +which is in Christ. + +2:6. As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in +him: + +2:7. Rooted and built up in him and confirmed in the faith, as also you +have learned: abounding in him in thanksgiving. + +2:8. Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: +according to the tradition of men according to the elements of the world +and not according to Christ. + +2:9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally. + +2:10. And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and +power. + +2:11. In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by +hand in despoiling of the body of the flesh: but in the circumcision of +Christ. + +2:12. Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you are risen again by +the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him up from the dead. + +2:13. And you, when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of +your flesh, he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all +offences: + +2:14. Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, +which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, +fastening it to the cross. + +2:15. And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them +confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. + +2:16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect +of a festival day or of the new moon or of the sabbaths, + +In meat, etc... He means with regard to the Jewish observations of the +distinction of clean and unclean meats; and of their festivals, new +moons, and sabbaths, as being no longer obligatory. + +2:17. Which are a shadow of things to come: but the body is of Christ. + +2:18. Let no man seduce you, willing in humility and religion of angels, +walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the +sense of his flesh: + +Willing, etc... That is, by a self willed, self invented, superstitious +worship, falsely pretending humility, but really proceeding from pride. +Such was the worship, that many of the philosophers (against whom St. +Paul speaks, ver. 8) paid to angels or demons, by sacrificing to them, +as carriers of intelligence betwixt God and men; pretending humility in +so doing, as if God was too great to be addressed by men; and setting +aside the mediatorship of Jesus Christ, who is the head both of angels +and men. Such also was the worship paid by the ancient heretics, +disciples of Simon and Menander, to the angels, whom they believed to be +makers and lords of this lower world. This is certain, that they whom +the apostle here condemns, did not hold the head, (ver. 19,) that is, +Jesus Christ, and his mediatorship; and therefore what he writes here no +way touches the Catholic doctrine and practice, of desiring our good +angels to pray to God for us, through Jesus Christ. St. Jerome [Epist. +ad Algas.] understands by the religion or service of angels, the Jewish +teachers, who sought to subject the new Christians to the observance of +the Mosaic law. + +2:19. And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and +bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth into the +increase of God. + +2:20. If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, +why do you yet decree as though living in the world? + +2:21. Touch not: taste not: handle not. + +Touch not, etc... The meaning is, that Christians should not subject +themselves, either to the ordinances of the old law, forbidding touching +or tasting things unclean; or to the superstitious invention of +heretics, imposing such restraints, under pretence of wisdom, humility, +or mortification. + +2:22. Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the +precepts and doctrines of men. + +2:23. Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and +humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of +the flesh. + + +Colossians Chapter 3 + +He exhorts them to put off the old man, and to put on the new. The +duties of wives and husbands, children and servants. + +3:1. Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are +above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. + +3:2. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the +earth. + +3:3. For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God. + +3:4. When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall +appear with him in glory. + +3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth: +fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence and covetousness, +which is the service of idols. + +3:6. For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of +unbelief. + +3:7. In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. + +3:8. But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, +blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth. + +3:9. Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with +his deeds, + +3:10. And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, +according to the image of him that created him. + +3:11. Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor +uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all +and in all. + +3:12. Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the +bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: + +3:13. Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any have a +complaint against another. Even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you +also. + +3:14. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of +perfection. + +3:15. And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also +you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. + +3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, +teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual +canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. + +3:17. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of +the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. + +3:18. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord. + +3:19. Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards them. + +3:20. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well +pleasing to the Lord. + +3:21. Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be +discouraged. + +3:22. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: +not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart, +fearing God. + +3:23. Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not +to men: + +3:24. Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of +inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ. + +3:25. For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done +wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God. + +Colossians Chapter 4 + +He recommends constant prayer and wisdom. Various salutations. + +4:1. Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing +that you also have a master in heaven. + +4:2. Be instant in prayer: watching in it with thanksgiving. + +4:3. Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of +speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound): + +4:4. That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak. + +4:5. Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time. + +4:6. Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may +know how you ought to answer every man. + +4:7. All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and +faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to +you. + +4:8. What I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the +things that concern you and comfort your hearts: + +4:9. With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of +you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you. + +4:10. Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you: and Mark, the +cousin german of Barnabas, touching whom you have received commandments. +If he come unto you, receive him. + +4:11. And Jesus that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision. +These only are my helpers, in the kingdom of God: who have been a +comfort to me. + +4:12. Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ +Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand +perfect and full in all the will of God. + +4:13. For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you and for +them that are at Laodicea and them at Hierapolis. + +4:14. Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas. + +4:15. Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea: and Nymphas and the +church that is in his house. + +4:16. And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it +be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that +which is of the Laodiceans. + +And that you read that which is of the Laodiceans... What this epistle +was is uncertain, and annotators have given different opinions +concerning it. Some expound these words of an epistle which St. Paul +wrote to the Laodiceans, and is since lost, for that now extant is no +more than a collection of sentences out of the other epistles of St. +Paul; therefore it cannot be considered even as a part of that epistle. +Others explain that the text means a letter sent to St. Paul by the +Laodiceans, which he sends to the Colossians to be read by them. +However, this opinion does not seem well founded. Hence it is more +probable that St. Paul wrote an epistle from Rome to the Laodiceans, +about the same time that he wrote to the Colossians, as he had them both +equally at heart, and that he ordered that epistle to be read by the +Colossians for their instructions; and being neighbouring cities, they +might communicate to each other what they had received from him; as one +epistle might contain some matters not related in the other, and would +be equally useful for their concern; and more particularly as they were +equally disturbed by intruders and false teachers, against which the +apostle was anxious to warn them, lest they should be infected by their +pernicious doctrine. + +4:17. And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast +received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. + +4:18. The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. +Grace be with you. Amen. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 58 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8358.txt or 8358.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
