Not Philosophy but Christ

2For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,G1063G2309G5209G1492G2245G73G2192G4012G5216G2532G1722G2993G2532G3745G3708G3756G3708G3450G4383G1722G4561 2that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,G2443G846G2588G3870G4822G1722G26G2532G1519G3956G4149G4136G4907G1519G1922G3466G2316G2532G3962G2532G5547 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.G1722G3739G1526G614G3956G2344G4678G2532G1108 4Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.G1161G5124G3004G3363G5100G3884G5209G1722G4086 5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.G1063G1499G548G4561G235G1510G4862G5213G4151G5463G2532G991G5216G5010G2532G4733G5216G4102G1519G5547 6As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,G5613G3880G3767G3880G5547G2424G2962G4043G1722G846 7rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.G4492G2532G2026G1722G846G2532G950G1722G4102G2531G1321G4052G1722G846G1722G2169 8Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.G991G3361G5100G2071G4812G5209G1223G5385G2532G2756G539G2596G3862G444G2596G4747G2889G2532G3756G2596G5547 9For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;G3754G1722G846G2730G3956G4138G2320G4985 10and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.G2532G2075G4137G1722G846G3739G2076G2776G3956G746G2532G1849

Not Legalism but Christ

11In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,G1722G3739G2532G4059G4061G886G1722G555G4983G266G4561G1722G4061G5547 12buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.G4916G846G1722G908G1722G3739G2532G4891G1223G4102G1753G2316G3588G1453G846G1537G3498 13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,G2532G5209G5607G3498G1722G3900G2532G203G5216G4561G4806G4862G846G5483G5213G3956G3900 14having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.G1813G5498G1378G2596G2257G3739G2258G5227G2254G2532G142G846G1537G3319G4338G846G4716 15Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.G554G746G2532G1849G1165G1722G3954G2358G846G1722G846 16So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,G2919G3361G5100G3767G2919G5209G1722G1035G2228G1722G4213G2228G1722G3313G1859G2228G3561G2228G4521 17which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.G3739G2076G4639G3195G1161G4983G5547 18Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,G2603G3367G2603G5209G2603G1722G2309G5012G2532G2356G32G1687G3739G3708G3361G3708G1500G5448G5259G846G4561G3563 19and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.G2532G3756G2902G2776G1537G3739G3956G4983G1223G860G2532G4886G2023G2532G4822G837G838G2316 20Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—G3767G1487G599G4862G5547G575G4747G2889G5101G5613G2198G1722G2889G1379 21"Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,"G680G3361G1089G3366G2345G3366 22which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men?G3739G3956G2076G1519G5356G671G2596G1778G2532G1319G444 23These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.G3748G2192G3303G2076G3056G4678G1722G1479G2532G5012G2532G857G4983G3756G1722G5100G5092G4314G4140G4561
