Robertson Word Pictures - Colossians 4:17 - 4:17


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Take heed (blepe). Keep an eye on.

Thou hast received in the Lord (parelabes en Kuriōi). Second aorist active indicative of paralambanō, the verb used by Paul of getting his message from the Lord (1Co 15:3). Clearly Archippus had a call “in the Lord” as every preacher should have.

That thou fulfil it (hina autēn plērois). Present active subjunctive of plēroō, “that thou keep on filling it full.” It is a life-time job.
