Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
All Commentaries on Colossians 3:11 Go To Colossians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Lo! Here is a third encomium of this man. With him, there is no difference admitted either of nation, or of rank, or of ancestry, seeing he has nothing of externals, nor needs them; for all external things are such as these, circumcision, and uncircumcision, bondman, freeman, Greek, that is, proselyte, and Jew, from his ancestors. If you have only this man, you will obtain the same things with the others that have him.
But Christ, he says, is all, and in all: Christ will be all things to you, both rank, and descent, and Himself in you all. Or he says another thing, to wit, that you all have become one Christ, being His body.
