Colossians 2
1ForG1063 I wouldG2309 thatG1492 yeG4771 knewG1492 what greatG2245 conflictG73 I haveG2192 forG4012 youG4771, andG2532 for themG3588 atG1722 LaodiceaG2993, andG2532 for as many asG3745 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 myG1473 faceG3588G4383 inG1722 the fleshG4561; 2ThatG2443 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588 might be comfortedG3870, being knit togetherG4822 inG1722 loveG26, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 richesG4149 of the full assuranceG3588G4136 of understandingG3588G4907, toG1519 the acknowledgementG1922 of the mysteryG3588G3466 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 of the FatherG3962, andG2532 of ChristG3588G5547; 3InG1722 whomG3739 areG1510 hidG614 allG3956 the treasuresG3588G2344 of wisdomG3588G4678 andG2532 knowledgeG3588G1108. 4
AndG1161 thisG3778 I sayG3004, lestG3361 any manG5100 should beguileG3884 youG4771 withG1722 enticing wordsG4086. 5ForG1063 thoughG1487 I be absentG548 in the fleshG3588G4561, yetG235 am IG1510 withG4862 youG4771 in the spiritG3588G4151, joyingG5463 andG2532 beholdingG991 yourG4771 orderG3588G5010, andG2532 the stedfastnessG3588G4733 of yourG4771 faithG4102 inG1519 ChristG5547. 6AsG5613 ye haveG3880 thereforeG3767 receivedG3880 ChristG3588G5547 JesusG2424 the LordG3588G2962, so walk yeG4043 inG1722 himG846: 7RootedG4492 andG2532 built upG2026 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 stablishedG950 inG1722 the faithG3588G4102, asG2531 ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 thereinG1722G846 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169. 8
BewareG991 lestG3361 any manG5100 spoilG4812 youG4771 throughG1223 philosophyG3588G5385 andG2532 vainG2756 deceitG539, afterG2596 the traditionG3588G3862 of menG3588G444, afterG2596 the rudimentsG3588G4747 of the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 notG3756 afterG2596 ChristG5547.
9ForG3754 inG1722 himG846 dwellethG2730 allG3956 the fulnessG3588G4138 of the GodheadG3588G2320 bodilyG4985. 10AndG2532 ye areG1510 completeG4137 inG1722 himG846, whichG3739 isG1510 the headG3588G2776 of allG3956 principalityG746 andG2532 authorityG1849: 11InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG886, inG1722 putting offG3588G555 the bodyG3588G4983 of the sinsG3588G266 of the fleshG3588G4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG3588G4061 of ChristG3588G5547: 12BuriedG4916 with himG846 inG1722 baptismG3588G908, whereinG1722G3739 alsoG2532 ye are risen withG4891 him throughG1223 the faithG3588G4102 of the operationG3588G1753 of GodG3588G2316, who hath raisedG3588G1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3588G3498.
13AndG2532 youG4771, beingG1510 deadG3498 inG1722 yourG3588 sinsG3900 andG2532 the uncircumcisionG3588G203 of yourG4771 fleshG3588G4561, hath he quickened togetherG4806 withG4862 himG846, having forgivenG5483 youG4771 allG3956 trespassesG3588G3900; 14Blotting outG1813 the handwritingG5498 of ordinancesG3588G1378 thatG3739 wasG1510 againstG2596 usG1473, which was contraryG5227 to usG1473, andG2532 tookG142 itG846 out ofG1537 the wayG3319, nailingG4338 itG846 to his crossG3588G4716; 15
And having spoiledG554 principalitiesG3588G746 andG2532 powersG3588G1849, he made a shewG1165 of them openlyG3954, triumphing overG2358 themG846 inG1722 itG846.
16LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG4771 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: 17WhichG3739 areG1510 a shadowG4639 of things to comeG3195; butG1161 the bodyG4983 is of ChristG3588G5547. 18LetG2603 no manG3367 beguileG2603 youG4771 of your rewardG2603 inG1722 a voluntaryG2309 humilityG5012 andG2532 worshippingG2356 of angelsG3588G32, intruding intoG1687 those things whichG3739 he hathG3708 notG3361 seenG3708, vainlyG1500 puffed upG5448 byG5259 hisG846 fleshlyG3588G4561 mindG3588G3563, 19AndG2532 notG3756 holdingG2902 the HeadG3588G2776, fromG1537 whichG3739 allG3956 the bodyG3588G4983 byG1223 jointsG3588G860 andG2532 bandsG4886 having nourishment ministeredG2023, andG2532 knit togetherG4822, increaseth withG837 the increaseG3588G838 of GodG3588G2316. 20WhereforeG3767 ifG1487 ye be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG3588G5547 fromG575 the rudimentsG3588G4747 of the worldG3588G2889, whyG5101, as thoughG5613 livingG2198 inG1722 the worldG2889, are ye subject to ordinancesG1379, 21(TouchG680 notG3361; tasteG1089 notG3366; handleG2345 notG3366; 22WhichG3739 allG3956 areG1510 toG1519 perishG5356 with the usingG3588G671;) afterG2596 the commandmentsG3588G1778 andG2532 doctrinesG1319 of menG3588G444? 23WhichG3748 thingsG3056 haveG1510 indeedG3303 a shewG2192 of wisdomG4678 inG1722 will worshipG1479, andG2532 humilityG5012, andG2532 neglectingG857 of the bodyG4983; notG3756 inG1722 anyG5100 honourG5092 toG4314 the satisfyingG4140 of the fleshG3588G4561.
