Colossians 2

For ^aI would that ye knew what great ^bconflict I have for you, and for them at ^cLaodicea, and for ^das many as have not seen my face in the flesh; ²that ^etheir hearts might be comforted, ^fbeing knit together in love, and unto ^gall riches of ^hthe full assurance of understanding, to ⁱthe acknowledgement of ⁱⁱthe mystery of ^jGod and of the Father, and of Christ; ³in whom are hid all the treasures of ^kwisdom and ^lknowledge. ⁴And this I say, ^mlest any man should ⁿbeguile you ^owith enticing words. ⁵For ^pthough I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your ^qorder, and the ^rstedfastness of your faith in Christ. ^6sAs ye have therefore ^streceived Christ Jesus the Lord, so ^swalk ye in him: ^7urooted and ^wbuilt up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein ^xwith thanksgiving.

^8yBeware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after ^zthe tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. ⁹For in him ^adwelleth all the ^bfulness of the Godhead ^cbodily. ¹⁰And ^dye are complete in him, ^ewhich is the head of all ^fprincipality and ^fpower: ¹¹in whom also ye are circumcised with ^gthe circumcision made without hands, ^hin putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ: ¹²ⁱburied with him in baptism, wherein also ^jyou are risen with him through ^kthe faith of ^lthe operation of God, ^mwho hath raised him from the dead. ¹³ⁿAnd you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; ^14opblotting out the handwriting of ^qordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and ^rtook it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; ¹⁵and ^shaving spoiled ^fprincipalities and ^fpowers, ^she made a shew of them openly, ^ttriumphing over them ^uin it.

¹⁶Let no man therefore ^wjudge you ^xin meat, or in drink, or in respect of ^ya holyday, or of ^zthe new moon, or of ^athe sabbath days: ¹⁷which are ^ba shadow of things to come; but ^cthe body is of Christ. ^18dLet no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, ^eintruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly ^fpuft up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹and not ^gholding ^hthe head, ^hfrom which all the body by joints and ⁱbands ⁱⁱhaving nourishment ministered, and ^hknit together, ^jincreaseth with ^jjthe increase of God. ²⁰Wherefore ^kif ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, ^lwhy, as though living in the world, are ye ^msubject to ordinances, ²¹(ⁿtouch not; ^otaste not; handle not; ^22pwhich all are ^qto perish with the using;) after ^rthe commandments and ^rdoctrines of men? ^23swhich things have indeed a shew of wisdom in ^twill worship, and ^thumility, and neglecting of the body, not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
