Colossians 1:21
_ _ The Colossians are included in this general reconciliation (compare Ephesians 2:1, Ephesians 2:12).
_ _ sometime — “once.”
_ _ alienated — from God and salvation: objectively banished from God, through the barrier which God’s justice interposed against your sin: subjectively estranged through the alienation of your own wills from God. The former is the prominent thought (compare Romans 5:10), as the second follows, “enemies in your mind.” “Actual alienation makes habitual ‘enemies’” [Bengel].
_ _ in your mind — Greek, “in your understanding” or “thought” (Ephesians 2:3; Ephesians 4:18).
_ _ by wicked works — rather as Greek, “in your wicked works” (wicked works were the element in which your enmity subsisted).
_ _ yet now — Notwithstanding the former alienation, now that Christ has come, God hath completely reconciled, or restored to His friendship again (so the Greek, compare Note, see on Colossians 1:20). |
Colossians 1:21
And you that were alienated, and enemies — Actual alienation of affection makes habitual enmity. In your mind — Both your understanding and your affections. By wicked works — Which continually feed and increase inward alienation from, and enmity to, God. He hath now reconciled — From the moment ye believed. |
Colossians 1:21
(10) And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath (o) he reconciled
(10) Sanctification is another work of God in us by Christ, in that that he restored us (who hated God extremely and were wholly and willingly given to sin) to his gracious favour in such a way that he in addition purifies us with his Holy Spirit, and consecrates us to righteousness.
(o) The Son. |
- sometime:
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 5:9-10 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. ... For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans 8:7-8 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. ... So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ... And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Ephesians 2:1-2 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; ... Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Titus 3:3-7 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another. ... That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

- in your mind by:
- or, by your mind in,
Titus 1:15-16 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ... They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
