2:1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for
you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not
seen my face in the flesh;
2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together
in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and
of the Father, and of Christ;
2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge.
2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with
enticing words.
2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in
the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so]
walk ye in him:
2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain
deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ.
2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.
2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
principality and power:
2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the
flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised him from the dead.
2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision
of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven you all trespasses;
2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was
against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the
way, nailing it to his cross;
2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath
[days]:
2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is]
of Christ.
2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things
which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by
joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God.
2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances,
2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
commandments and doctrines of men?
2:23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will
worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any
honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
