Let no man deceive you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
All Commentaries on Colossians 2:18 Go To Colossians 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For [this man] has not seen angels and yet acts as though he had. Therefore Paul says, “vainly puffed up by his carnal mind,” not about any true fact. About this doctrine, he is puffed up and puts forward a false humility. He acts and thinks carnally, not spiritually. His reasoning is simply human reason alone.
