Colossians 2:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Having cautioned them against sophistical seducers, and commended them for that order and sound faith he understood to be amongst them, he here infers an exhortation to continuance in both, especially in the latter, with respect to the person of Christ, according as he had before described him: for he doth not say: As ye have received the doctrine of Christ, or concerning Christ, but: As ye have received Christ himself, as 1 Thessalonians 1:11,12 1 John 5:11,12, in whom is all treasured up for salvation. He adds not only Jesus, (who came to save his people from their sins), but the Lord, intimating they should not therefore suffer any rules of faith or life to be imposed upon them by any other whatsoever, but should be persuaded to abide in him, whom they had embraced, and order their conversation according to his mind, 1 Thessalonians 4:1, knowing that he is the way, the truth, and the life, 1 Thessalonians 14:6; being led by his Spirit, and deriving virtue to go on in this orderly walk and persevere in the faith.
