Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And this is fit in the Lord, it is becoming the relation, and what they are bound in duty to do, as an instance of obedience to the authority and law of Christ.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. The apostle, having described our privileges by Christ in the former part of the epistle, and our discharge from the yoke of the ceremonial law, comes here to press upon us our duty as inferred thence.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

unto your own husbands--The oldest manuscripts omit "own," which crept in from Eph 5:22. as it is fit in the Lord--Greek, "was fit," implying that there was at Colosse some degree of failure in fulfilling this duty, "as it was your duty to have done as disciples of the Lord."
