Colossians 2:11-20

11and in Him 1you were alsoG2532 circumcisedG4059 with a circumcisionG4061 performedG886 withoutG886 handsG886, in the removalG555 of 2the bodyG4983 of the fleshG4561 by the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547, 12having been 3buriedG4916 with Him in baptismG909, in whichG3739 you were alsoG2532 4raisedG4891 with Him throughG1223 faithG4102 in the workingG1753 of GodG2316, who 5raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498. 13And 6when you were 7deadG3498 8in your wrongdoingsG3900 and the uncircumcisionG203 of your fleshG4561, He 9madeG4806 you aliveG4806 togetherG4806 with Him, having forgivenG5483 us allG3956 our wrongdoingsG3900, 14having canceledG1813 10the certificateG5498 ofG5498 debtG5498 consisting of decreesG1378 againstG2596 us, whichG3739 was hostileG5227 to us; and 11He has takenG142 it out of the wayG3319, having nailedG4338 it to the crossG4716. 15When He had 12 13disarmedG554 the 14rulersG746 and authoritiesG1849, He 15madeG1165 a publicG3954 displayG1165 of them, having 16triumphedG2358 overG2358 them throughG1722 17Him.

16ThereforeG3767, noG3361 oneG5100 is to 18 19actG2919 asG2919 your judgeG2919 in regard to 20foodG1035 and 21drinkG4213, orG2228 in respectG3313 to a 22festivalG1859 orG2228 a 23newG3501 moonG3501, orG2228 a 24SabbathG4521 25day-- 17things whichG3739 are only a 26shadowG4639 of what is to comeG3195; but the 27substanceG4983 28belongs to ChristG5547. 18Take care that noG3367 oneG3367 keeps 29 30defraudingG2603 you ofG2603 your prizeG2603 by 31delightingG2309 in humilityG5012 and the worshipG2356 of the angelsG32, 32takingG1687 his standG1687 on visions he has seenG3708, 33 34inflatedG5448 withoutG1500 causeG1500 by his 35fleshlyG4561 mindG3563, 19and not holdingG2902 firmlyG2902 to 36the headG2776, from whomG3739 37the entireG3956 bodyG4983, being suppliedG2023 and heldG4822 togetherG4822 by the jointsG860 and 38ligamentsG4886, growsG837 with a growthG838 39which is from GodG2316.

20 40IfG1487 you have diedG599 with ChristG5547 41to the 42elementaryG4747 principlesG4747 of the worldG2889, 43whyG5101, as ifG5613 you were livingG2198 in the worldG2889, do you submitG1379 yourself toG1379 44decreesG1379, such as,
