Colossians 2:6-23

6ThereforeG3767, as you have receivedG3880 1ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962, so 23walkG4043 in Him, 7having been firmlyG4492 4rootedG4492 and now being 5builtG2026 upG2026 in Him and 6establishedG950 7in 8your faithG4102, justG2531 asG2531 you 9were instructedG1321, and overflowingG4052 10with gratitudeG2169.

811SeeG991 to it that there is noG3361 oneG5100 who takesG4812 you captiveG4812 throughG1223 12philosophyG5385 and emptyG2756 deceptionG539 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 humanG444 traditionG3862, inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the 13elementaryG4747 principlesG4747 of the worldG2889, 14ratherG3756 thanG2532G3756 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 ChristG5547. 9For in Him allG3956 the 15fullnessG4138 of DeityG2320 dwellsG2730 in bodilyG4985 formG4985, 10and in Him you have beenG1510 16madeG4137 17completeG4137, and 18He is the headG2776 19over everyG3956 20rulerG746 and authorityG1849; 11and in Him 21you were alsoG2532 circumcisedG4059 with a circumcisionG4061 performedG886 withoutG886 handsG886, in the removalG555 of 22the bodyG4983 of the fleshG4561 by the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547, 12having been 23buriedG4916 with Him in baptismG909, in whichG3739 you were alsoG2532 24raisedG4891 with Him throughG1223 faithG4102 in the workingG1753 of GodG2316, who 25raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498. 13And 26when you were 27deadG3498 28in your wrongdoingsG3900 and the uncircumcisionG203 of your fleshG4561, He 29madeG4806 you aliveG4806 togetherG4806 with Him, having forgivenG5483 us allG3956 our wrongdoingsG3900, 14having canceledG1813 30the certificateG5498 ofG5498 debtG5498 consisting of decreesG1378 againstG2596 us, whichG3739 was hostileG5227 to us; and 31He has takenG142 it out of the wayG3319, having nailedG4338 it to the crossG4716. 15When He had 3233disarmedG554 the 34rulersG746 and authoritiesG1849, He 35madeG1165 a publicG3954 displayG1165 of them, having 36triumphedG2358 overG2358 them throughG1722 37Him.

16ThereforeG3767, noG3361 oneG5100 is to 3839actG2919 asG2919 your judgeG2919 in regard to 40foodG1035 and 41drinkG4213, orG2228 in respectG3313 to a 42festivalG1859 orG2228 a 43newG3501 moonG3501, orG2228 a 44SabbathG4521 45day-- 17things whichG3739 are only a 46shadowG4639 of what is to comeG3195; but the 47substanceG4983 48belongs to ChristG5547. 18Take care that noG3367 oneG3367 keeps 4950defraudingG2603 you ofG2603 your prizeG2603 by 51delightingG2309 in humilityG5012 and the worshipG2356 of the angelsG32, 52takingG1687 his standG1687 on visions he has seenG3708, 5354inflatedG5448 withoutG1500 causeG1500 by his 55fleshlyG4561 mindG3563, 19and not holdingG2902 firmlyG2902 to 56the headG2776, from whomG3739 57the entireG3956 bodyG4983, being suppliedG2023 and heldG4822 togetherG4822 by the jointsG860 and 58ligamentsG4886, growsG837 with a growthG838 59which is from GodG2316.

2060IfG1487 you have diedG599 with ChristG5547 61to the 62elementaryG4747 principlesG4747 of the worldG2889, 63whyG5101, as ifG5613 you were livingG2198 in the worldG2889, do you submitG1379 yourself toG1379 64decreesG1379, such as, 21“Do not handleG681, do not tasteG1089, do not touchG2345!” 22(whichG3739 allG3956 refer 65to things destined to perishG5356 66with useG671)--in accordanceG2596 with the 67commandmentsG1778 and teachingsG1319 of manG444? 23TheseG3748 are mattersG2192 whichG3748 doG3303 haveG2192 the 68appearanceG3056 of wisdomG4678 in 6970self-madeG1479 religionG1479 and humilityG5012 and 71severeG857 treatmentG857 of the bodyG4983, but are of noG3756G5100 valueG5092 againstG4314 72fleshlyG4561 indulgenceG4140.
