bulletCommentary by St John Chrysostom: Homily IX.
bullet"Virtue he calls wisdom, and lowliness of mind is wisdom, and almsgiving, and other such like things, are wisdom; just as the contraries are folly, for cruelty too cometh of folly."

bullet"And then the peace of God shall rule in your hearts - Shall sway every temper, affection, thought, as the reward (so the Greek word implies) of your preceding love and obedience."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"...bowels of mercies--Some of the oldest manuscripts read singular, "mercy." Bowels express the yearning compassion, which has its seat in the heart, and which we feel to act on our inward parts."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"Neither in worship, nor in his business and pleasures, must be the Christian engage in anything that cannot be done in Christ's name; i.e., by his authority and in prayer to him. This covers the whole life. It applies to conduct, to places of resort, to secular calling. If doubtful, see if you can on your knees ask Christ to go with you and bless you in what you are about to undertake."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:

bullet"The Old Man," David L. Roth, in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical Theology (Reformed).
bullet"There is a difference between being heavenly minded and being merely interested in things of heaven. The one requires all of the resources of heart, mind and strength under Spirit-sway. The other, merely an inclination toward speculation."
bullet Kairos CoMotion Lectionary Discussion, Colossians 3:12-17. "A place of conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
bullet "Clothes are technologies of comfort and fashion/status. In this sense the experience of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience are techniques of love, are the clothing covering and revealing love."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Tempering the Spirit of Wrath: Anger and the Christian Life," Robert C. Roberts. The Christian Century, 1997. At Religion OnLine.
bullet"If anger is ever to be right and fitting, two things must be true: first, that people are sometimes blameworthy, and their blameworthiness makes them unattractive and makes them deserve to be hurt; second, that somebody is in a position to judge."
bullet "On Raisin' Abel," Robert B. Sloan, Jr., (other resources at) "Children," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2003.
bullet"Developing Christian practice and virtue in our children is a complex matter..."

bullet "Declining with Grace," study guide for adults, Robert B. Kruschwitz, (other resources at) "Aging," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2003.
bullet "The Craft of Forgiveness," L. Gregory Jones, Loyola College. Theology Today, October, 1993.
bullet"If, and insofar as, Christians are able to recognize that forgiveness is a way of life rather than a simple word to assuage guilt, then we will be on our way to embodying the wholeness of the gospel through mastering the craft of forgiveness."
bullet "Clergy, Children, and Families: Learning from Basic Concepts of Child Therapy," Peter Cammarano, Padre Complex.
bullet""On top of the fishbowl experience, clergy families also experience the stress of mobility concerns, lack of control, and boundary intrusions. Are there basic lessons that clergy families could learn from the child therapy movement that could help manage these stresses and support healthy families? Could elements of appropriate emotional availability, active participation in the child’s play, recognition of child resilience, limit setting, and filial therapy be a beginning place for clergy families to learn from child therapy?"
