Colossians 4:17
_ _ say to Archippus — The Colossians (not merely the clergy, but the laymen) are directed, “Speak ye to Archippus.” This proves that Scripture belongs to the laity as well as the clergy; and that laymen may profitably admonish the clergy in particular cases when they do so in meekness. Bengel suggests that Archippus was perhaps prevented from going to the Church assembly by weak health or age. The word, “fulfil,” accords with his ministry being near its close (Colossians 1:25; compare Philemon 1:2). However, “fulfil” may mean, as in 2 Timothy 4:5, “make full proof of thy ministry.” “Give all diligence to follow it out fully”; a monition perhaps needed by Archippus.
_ _ in the Lord — The element in which every work of the Christian, and especially the Christian minister, is to be done (Colossians 4:7; 1 Corinthians 7:39; Philippians 4:2). |
Colossians 4:17
And say to Archippus — One of the pastors of that church. Take heed — It is the duty of the flock to try them that say they are apostles to reject the false, and to warn, as well as to receive, the real. The ministry — Not a lordship, but a service; a laborious and painful work; an obligation to do and suffer all things; to be the least, and the servant, of all. In the Lord — Christ by whom, and for whose sake, we receive the various gifts of the Holy Spirit. |
