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.
