That you might walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:10 Go To Colossians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Here he speaks of life and its works, for so he does also everywhere: with faith Paul always couples conduct…. Summarily, Paul states, we pray that you may lead a life of virtue, worthy of your citizenship, and may stand firmly, being strengthened as it is reasonable to be strengthened by God. For this reason Paul does not yet focus upon doctrines, but dwells upon life.
