Colossians 2

1For I wouldG2309 have you know what combat I have for you, and those in LaodiceaG2993, and as manyG3745 as have not seenG3708 my faceG4383 in fleshG4561; 2to the end that their heartsG2588 may be encouragedG3870, being united togetherG4822 in loveG26, and unto all richesG4149 of the full assuranceG4136 of understandingG4907, to [the] full knowledgeG1922 of the mysteryG3466 of 1GodG2316; 3in which areG1510 hid all the treasuresG2344 of wisdomG4678 and of knowledgeG1108. 4And I sayG3004 this to the end that no oneG3367 may delude you by persuasive speech. 5For if indeed in the fleshG4561 I amG1510 absentG548, yet I amG1510 with you in spiritG4151, rejoicingG5463 and seeingG991 your orderG5010, and the firmness of your faithG4102 in ChristG5547. 6As thereforeG3767 ye have receivedG3880 the ChristG5547, JesusG2424 the LordG2962, walkG4043 in him, 7rootedG4492 and builtG2026 up in him, and assured in the faithG4102, evenG2532 as ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 in it with thanksgivingG2169. 8SeeG991 that there beG1510 no oneG5100 who shall lead you away as a prey through philosophy and vainG2756 deceitG539, accordingG2596 to the teaching of menG444, accordingG2596 to the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889, and not accordingG2596 to ChristG5547. 9For in him dwellsG2730 all the fulness of the 2Godhead bodily; 10and ye areG1510 complete in him, who isG1510 the headG2776 of all principality and authorityG1849, 11in whom alsoG2532 ye have been circumcised with circumcisionG4061 not done by hand, in the putting off of the bodyG4983 of the fleshG4561, in the circumcisionG4061 of the ChristG5547; 12buried with him in baptismG908, in which ye have been alsoG2532 raisedG1453 with [him] through faithG4102 of the workingG1753 of 3GodG2316 who raisedG1453 him from among the deadG3498. 13And you, beingG1510 deadG3498 in offences and in the uncircumcisionG203 of your fleshG4561, he has quickened together with him, having forgivenG5483 us all the offences; 14having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which wasG1510 contrary to us, he has takenG142 it alsoG2532 out of the way, having nailed it to the crossG4716; 15having spoiled principalities and authoritiesG1849, he made a show of them publiclyG3954, leading them in triumph by it. 16Let none thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 you in meat or in drinkG4213, or in matter of feastG1859, or new moon, or sabbathsG4521, 17which areG1510 a shadowG4639 of thingsG3739 to comeG3195; but the bodyG4983 [isG1510] of ChristG5547. 18Let no oneG3367 fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humilityG5012 and worship of angelsG32, entering into thingsG3739 which he has not seenG3708, vainly puffed up by the mindG3563 of his fleshG4561, 19and not holdingG2902 fastG2902 the headG2776, from whom all the bodyG4983, ministered to and united togetherG4822 by the joints and bands, increases with the increaseG837 of 4GodG2316. 20If ye have diedG599 with ChristG5547 from the elementsG4747 of the worldG2889, whyG5101 as [if] aliveG2198 in [the] worldG2889 do ye subject yourselves to ordinances? 21Do not handle, do not tasteG1089, do not touchG681, 22(thingsG3956 which areG1510 all for destructionG5356 in the using [of them]:) accordingG2596 to the injunctions and teachingsG1319 of menG444, 23(which have indeed an appearance of wisdomG4678 in voluntary worship, and humilityG5012, and harsh treatment of the bodyG4983, not in a certainG5100 honour,) to [the] satisfaction of the fleshG4561.
