Commentary

Commentary on Colossians 4:2

Theological / Devotional

Continue. Gr. proskartered (see on Rom. 12:12). Compare on Eph. 6:18; 1 Thess. 5:17.

Watch. The apostle’s admonition stresses the need for continual alertness in the act of prayer. Constantly we are to be on guard lest the adversary distract us, and lest we lose our alertness and become weary.

With thanksgiving. Or, “in thanksgiving.” Compare on Eph. 6:18. See on 1 Thess. 5:18. Prayer and watchfulness should always be in the setting of gratitude to God.

Though we are in daily need of help and guidance, we nevertheless have much for which we should be ever thankful.
