Calvin's on Colossians 1:8

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

Love in the Spirit I take to mean, spiritual love , according to the view of Chrysostom, with whom, however, I do not agree in the interpretation of the preceding words. Now, spiritual love is of such a nature as has no view to the world, but is consecrated to the service of piety, (286) and has, as it were, an internal root, while carnal friendships depend on external causes. (286) “ Mais est commencee et comme consacree a l’adueu de la piete et cognoissance de Dieu ;” — “But is commenced and, as it were, consecrated to the service of piety and the knowledge of God.” return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
