The Epistle to the Colossians [a] is the twelfth book of the New Testament. It was written, according to the text, by Paul the Apostle and Timothy, and addressed to the church in Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles (160 km) from Ephesus in Asia Minor. [3]
Titus 2:1–10 and 1 Peter 2:13–3:7.

But the genitive may be objective, 'the complement of Christ,' that which ...
The connection between Colossians and Philemon, an undisputed letter, is significant. A certain Archippus is referred to in both Philemon 2 and Colossians 4:17, and the greetings of both letters bear similar names.

Colossians Chapter 3 contrasts all seven moral opposites of the Ten Commandments.

The seven moral positives of the Ten Commandments are in the same sequence as the ...
The primary contact point in the New Testament is the condemnation of the “worship of angels” in Colossians: "Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind" (Colossians 2:18)
