Concluding Remarks on the Epistle to the Colossians
Colosse was a large and populous city of Phrygia Pacatiana, in
Asia Minor, seated on an eminence to the south of the river
Meander. It is supposed to have occupied a site now covered
with ruins, near the village of Konous or Khonas, and about
twenty miles N.W. of Degnizlu. By whom, or at what time, the
church at Colosse was founded is wholly uncertain; but it would
appear from the apostle's declaration, ch. 2:1, that he was not
the honoured instrument. It appears from the tenor of this
epistle to have been, upon the whole, in a very flourishing
state; but some difficulties having arisen among them, they sent
Epaphras to Rome, where the apostle was now imprisoned, to
acquaint him with the state of their affairs. It is remarkable
for a peculiar pathos and ardour, which is generally ascribed to
the extraordinary divine consolations enjoyed by the apostle
during his sufferings for the sake of Christ. Whoever, says
Michaelis, would understand the Epistles to the Ephesians and
Colossians, must read them together. The one is in most places
a commentary on the other; the meaning of single passages in one
epistle, which, if considered alone, might be variously
interpreted, being determined by the parallel passages in the
other epistle.
