1For1063 I would2309 that ye5209 knew1492 what great2245 conflict73 I have2192 for4012 you5216, and2532 for them at1722 Laodicea2993, and2532 for as many as3745 have3708 not3756 seen3708 my3450 face4383 in1722 the flesh4561;
2That2443 their846 hearts2588 might be comforted3870, being knit together4822 in1722 love26, and2532 unto1519 all3956 riches4149 of the full assurance4136 of understanding4907, to1519 the acknowledgement1922 of the mystery3466 of God2316, and2532 of the Father3962, and2532 of Christ5547;
3In1722 whom3739 are1526 hid614 all3956 the treasures2344 of wisdom4678 and2532 knowledge1108.
4And1161 this5124 I say3004, lest3363 any man5100 should beguile3884 you5209 with1722 enticing words4086.
5For1063 though1499 I be absent548 in the flesh4561, yet235 am I1510 with4862 you5213 in the spirit4151, joying5463 and2532 beholding991 your5216 order5010, and2532 the stedfastness4733 of your5216 faith4102 in1519 Christ5547.
6As5613 ye have3880 therefore3767 received3880 Christ5547 Jesus2424 the Lord2962, so walk ye4043 in1722 him846:
7Rooted4492 and2532 built up2026 in1722 him846, and2532 stablished950 in1722 the faith4102, as2531 ye have been taught1321, abounding4052 therein1722 846 with1722 thanksgiving2169.
8Beware991 lest3361 any man5100 spoil2071 4812 you5209 through1223 philosophy5385 and2532 vain2756 deceit539, after2596 the tradition3862 of men444, after2596 the rudiments4747 of the world2889, and2532 not3756 after2596 Christ5547.
9For3754 in1722 him846 dwelleth2730 all3956 the fulness4138 of the Godhead2320 bodily4985.
10And2532 ye are2075 complete4137 in1722 him846, which3739 is2076 the head2776 of all3956 principality746 and2532 power1849:
11In1722 whom3739 also2532 ye are circumcised4059 with the circumcision4061 made without hands886, in1722 putting off555 the body4983 of the sins266 of the flesh4561 by1722 the circumcision4061 of Christ5547:
12Buried with4916 him846 in1722 baptism908, wherein1722 3739 also2532 ye are risen with4891 him through1223 the faith4102 of the operation1753 of God2316, who3588 hath raised1453 him846 from1537 the dead3498.
13And2532 you5209, being5607 dead3498 in1722 your sins3900 and2532 the uncircumcision203 of your5216 flesh4561, hath he quickened together4806 with4862 him846, having forgiven5483 you5213 all3956 trespasses3900;
14Blotting out1813 the handwriting5498 of ordinances1378 that was against2596 us2257, which3739 was2258 contrary5227 to us2254, and2532 took142 it846 out of1537 the way3319, nailing4338 it846 to his cross4716;
15And having spoiled554 principalities746 and2532 powers1849, he made a shew of them1165 openly1722 3954, triumphing over2358 them846 in1722 it846.
16Let2919 no3361 man5100 therefore3767 judge2919 you5209 in1722 meat1035, or2228 in1722 drink4213, or2228 in1722 respect3313 of an holyday1859, or2228 of the new moon3561, or2228 of the sabbath4521 days:
17Which3739 are2076 a shadow4639 of things to come3195; but1161 the body4983 is of Christ5547.
18Let2603 no man3367 beguile2603 you5209 of your reward2603 in1722 a voluntary2309 humility5012 and2532 worshipping2356 of angels32, intruding into1687 those things which3739 he hath3708 not3361 seen3708, vainly1500 puffed up5448 by5259 his846 fleshly4561 mind3563,
19And2532 not3756 holding2902 the Head2776, from1537 which3739 all3956 the body4983 by1223 joints860 and2532 bands4886 having nourishment ministered2023, and2532 knit together4822, increaseth837 with the increase838 of God2316.
20Wherefore3767 if1487 ye be dead599 with4862 Christ5547 from575 the rudiments4747 of the world2889, why5101, as though5613 living2198 in1722 the world2889, are ye subject to ordinances1379,
21(Touch680 not3361; taste1089 not3366; handle2345 not3366;
22Which3739 all3956 are2076 to1519 perish5356 with the using671;) after2596 the commandments1778 and2532 doctrines1319 of men444?
23Which things3748 have2192 indeed3303 a shew2076 3056 of wisdom4678 in1722 will worship1479, and2532 humility5012, and2532 neglecting857 of the body4983; not3756 in1722 any5100 honour5092 to4314 the satisfying4140 of the flesh4561.
