English Standard Version Help
2For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,G1063G2309G5209G1492G2245G73G2192G4012G5216G2532G1722G2993G2532G3745G3708G3756G3708G3450G4383G1722G4561 2that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ,G2443G846G2588G3870G4822G1722G26G2532G1519G3956G4149G4136G4907G1519G1922G3466G2316G2532G3962G2532G5547 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.G1722G3739G1526G614G3956G2344G4678G2532G1108 4I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.G1161G5124G3004G3363G5100G3884G5209G1722G4086 5For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.G1063G1499G548G4561G235G1510G4862G5213G4151G5463G2532G991G5216G5010G2532G4733G5216G4102G1519G5547

Alive in Christ

6Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,G5613G3880G3767G3880G5547G2424G2962G4043G1722G846 7rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.G4492G2532G2026G1722G846G2532G950G1722G4102G2531G1321G4052G1722G846G1722G2169 8See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.G991G3361G5100G2071G4812G5209G1223G5385G2532G2756G539G2596G3862G444G2596G4747G2889G2532G3756G2596G5547 9For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,G3754G1722G846G2730G3956G4138G2320G4985 10and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.G2532G2075G4137G1722G846G3739G2076G2776G3956G746G2532G1849 11In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,G1722G3739G2532G4059G4061G886G1722G555G4983G266G4561G1722G4061G5547 12having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.G4916G846G1722G908G1722G3739G2532G4891G1223G4102G1753G2316G3588G1453G846G1537G3498 13And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,G2532G5209G5607G3498G1722G3900G2532G203G5216G4561G4806G4862G846G5483G5213G3956G3900 14by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.G1813G5498G1378G2596G2257G3739G2258G5227G2254G2532G142G846G1537G3319G4338G846G4716 15He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.G554G746G2532G1849G1165G1722G3954G2358G846G1722G846

Let No One Disqualify You

16Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.G2919G3361G5100G3767G2919G5209G1722G1035G2228G1722G4213G2228G1722G3313G1859G2228G3561G2228G4521 17These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.G3739G2076G4639G3195G1161G4983G5547 18Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,G2603G3367G2603G5209G2603G1722G2309G5012G2532G2356G32G1687G3739G3708G3361G3708G1500G5448G5259G846G4561G3563 19and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.G2532G3756G2902G2776G1537G3739G3956G4983G1223G860G2532G4886G2023G2532G4822G837G838G2316 20If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—G3767G1487G599G4862G5547G575G4747G2889G5101G5613G2198G1722G2889G1379 21"Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch"G680G3361G1089G3366G2345G3366 22(referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings?G3739G3956G2076G1519G5356G671G2596G1778G2532G1319G444 23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.G3748G2192G3303G2076G3056G4678G1722G1479G2532G5012G2532G857G4983G3756G1722G5100G5092G4314G4140G4561
