1 After salutation Paul thanks God for their faith;
7 confirms the doctrine of Epaphras;
9 prays further for their increase in grace;
14 describes the true Christ;
21 encourages them to receive Jesus Christ, and commends his own ministry.
1 Paul still exhorts them to be constant in Christ;
8 to beware of philosophy, and vain traditions;
18 worshipping of angels;
20 and legal ceremonies, which are ended in Christ.
1 He shows where we should seek Christ.
5 He exhorts to mortification;
10 to put off the old man, and put on Christ;
12 exhorting to charity, humility, and other several duties.
1 He exhorts them to be fervent in prayer;
5 to walk wisely toward them that are not yet come to the true knowledge of Christ.
10 He salutes them, and wishes them all prosperity.
