Colossians 24-7
4 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you
with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent
in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit,
rejoicing to see your good order and the
steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As you
have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so
walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and
established in the faith, as you have been
taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Persuasive or Enticing Words
This was a word of the law-courts it was the
word for the persuasive power of a lawyers
arguments, the kind of persuasive power which
could make the worse appear the better reason,
and which could enable the criminal to escape the
just punishment he should have suffered, the
power which could sway an assembly and
sometimes sway it into mistaken ways

Prevents Rather Than Repairs
The ranks of the Colossians have not been broken
in his letter Paul is not hurrying to the rescue
of a congregation that has been thrown into
disorder. In Corinth the order has been broken
not so in Colosse. . . He is not hurrying to the
rescue of a congregation whose faith has begun to
lose its firm stand, has begun to become
unsteady. . . Thus far the Colossians have stood
in line with all firmness, but, like all
errorists, the Judaizers are persistent, and this
causes Paul concern for the Colossians, he is
thinking of the future days. He is not one who
waits until the damage is done he acts with
promptness so that no damage shall ever be done,
so that with his help the Colossians shall stand
more firmly than ever. That is a far more joyful
task than repairing damage after it has been
done, especially when such damage might have been
prevented by taking proper measure in time.
Fortify in advance! is the proper procedure.

Progress in Old Truth That You Already Know
Progress does not consist in dropping the early
truths of Jesus Christ the Lord for newer wisdom
and more speculative religion, but in discovering
ever deeper lessons and larger powers in these
rudiments which are likewise the last and highest
lessons which men can lean (235). -Walton
Weaver, Truth Commentaries - Philippians,
Colossians, 418.
