*Colossians Study Aug. 4, 2008*
AN INTRODUCTION:
This letter was written by the Apostle Paul, see verse 1.
He was probably in prison in Rome at the time; this would be his first imprisonment.
He wrote to the church at Colossae probably founded by Epaphras.
This is an interesting change that Paul uses in his letters: /C.
Greeting (1:2b)./
The greeting is consistent with the salutation.
Paul modifies the customary greeting of letters in the Graeco-Roman world to suit his own Christian needs.
The letters found in the ancient papyri use the greeting /chairein /(“greetings”; see Acts 15:23; 23:26) which Paul modifies to a closely related word /charis, /meaning “grace.”
To this Paul adds the typical Jewish greeting “peace” (/sûaµl/) and thus greets a church composed of both Jews and Gentiles with a dual greeting.
This is customary in most of Paul’s letters[1]
Paul uses grace and peace except in 1Tim and 2Tim were he adds mercy.
