 As on earth and in danger of not adhering to the Head, the believers in Colosse were in danger of departing from that object. He prayed, therefore, in view of that heavenly hope. (Colossians 1 by J.N. Darby)
 The Apostle, in order to raise them up, sets out as usual from the point where he found good in the saints to whom he wrote. (Colossians 1 by J.N. Darby)
 It is not, as in the Ephesian epistle, the riches of the glory of God's inheritance in the saints, but closely resembles a comparatively lower line of things which comes before us in the first epistle of Peter. It need hardly be said that they were equally true, and each in its place most appropriate, but not all equally elevated. The hope laid up for us in heaven supposes a position on the earth. The epistle to the Ephesians views the saint as already blessed by God in heavenly places in Christ. (Colossians 1 by W. Kelly)
 With this “hope” before them, it produced right affections for God’s people who will all be together one day. (The Fulness That Resides in Christ: Colossians 1-2:3 by B. Anstey)
