bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"The apostle expresses in all these three ways, God's destroying the handwriting which was contrary to us, or at enmity with us. This was not properly our sins themselves, (they were the debt,) but their guilt and cry before God."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"The apostle does not condemn all philosophy, but "the philosophy" (so Greek) of the Judaic-oriental heretics at Colosse, which afterwards was developed into Gnosticism. You, who may have "the riches of full assurance" and "the treasures of wisdom," should not suffer yourselves to be led away as a spoil by empty, deceitful philosophy: "riches" are contrasted with spoil; "full" with "vain," or empty."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
