Colossians 2
New International Version (1984) Help
2I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.G1063G2309G5209G1492G2245G73G2192G4012G5216G2532G1722G2993G2532G3745G3708G3756G3708G3450G4383G1722G4561
2My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,G2443G846G2588G3870G4822G1722G26G2532G1519G3956G4149G4136G4907G1519G1922G3466G2316G2532G3962G2532G5547
3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.G1722G3739G1526G614G3956G2344G4678G2532G1108
4I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.G1161G5124G3004G3363G5100G3884G5209G1722G4086
5For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.G1063G1499G548G4561G235G1510G4862G5213G4151G5463G2532G991G5216G5010G2532G4733G5216G4102G1519G5547
6So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,G5613G3880G3767G3880G5547G2424G2962G4043G1722G846
7rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.G4492G2532G2026G1722G846G2532G950G1722G4102G2531G1321G4052G1722G846G1722G2169
8See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.G991G3361G5100G2071G4812G5209G1223G5385G2532G2756G539G2596G3862G444G2596G4747G2889G2532G3756G2596G5547
9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,G3754G1722G846G2730G3956G4138G2320G4985
10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.G2532G2075G4137G1722G846G3739G2076G2776G3956G746G2532G1849
11In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,G1722G3739G2532G4059G4061G886G1722G555G4983G266G4561G1722G4061G5547
12having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.G4916G846G1722G908G1722G3739G2532G4891G1223G4102G1753G2316G3588G1453G846G1537G3498
13When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,G2532G5209G5607G3498G1722G3900G2532G203G5216G4561G4806G4862G846G5483G5213G3956G3900
14having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.G1813G5498G1378G2596G2257G3739G2258G5227G2254G2532G142G846G1537G3319G4338G846G4716
15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.G554G746G2532G1849G1165G1722G3954G2358G846G1722G846
16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.G2919G3361G5100G3767G2919G5209G1722G1035G2228G1722G4213G2228G1722G3313G1859G2228G3561G2228G4521
17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.G3739G2076G4639G3195G1161G4983G5547
18Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.G2603G3367G2603G5209G2603G1722G2309G5012G2532G2356G32G1687G3739G3708G3361G3708G1500G5448G5259G846G4561G3563
19He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.G2532G3756G2902G2776G1537G3739G3956G4983G1223G860G2532G4886G2023G2532G4822G837G838G2316
20Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules:G3767G1487G599G4862G5547G575G4747G2889G5101G5613G2198G1722G2889G1379
21"Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?G680G3361G1089G3366G2345G3366
22These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.G3739G3956G2076G1519G5356G671G2596G1778G2532G1319G444
23Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.G3748G2192G3303G2076G3056G4678G1722G1479G2532G5012G2532G857G4983G3756G1722G5100G5092G4314G4140G4561
