• He does not even say worthy of Christ, but "of the Lord." That is, he brings in His authority, for there can be no mistake for the Christian more profound than to suppose that the presentation of the Lord as such is the more elevated for the saint. It is most true in its place; but it addresses rather the sense of responsibility than the communion of affections of the children of God. (“Colossians 1” by W. Kelly)
• This shows that the motive for learning the truth is never for the purpose of showing off one’s knowledge. Learning the truth always has in view the putting of it into practice in our life. (“The Fulness That Resides in Christ: Colossians 1-2:3” by B. Anstey)
