| 2:1 | For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, |
| 2:2 | that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ, |
| 2:3 | in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid, |
| 2:4 | and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing words, |
| 2:5 | for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ; |
| 2:6 | as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye, |
| 2:7 | being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving. |
| 2:8 | See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ, |
| 2:9 | because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, |
| 2:10 | and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority, |
| 2:11 | in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ, |
| 2:12 | being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with `him' through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead. |
| 2:13 | And you -- being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh -- He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses, |
| 2:14 | having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; |
| 2:15 | having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it. |
| 2:16 | Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths, |
| 2:17 | which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body `is' of the Christ; |
| 2:18 | let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and `in' worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, |
| 2:19 | and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God. |
| 2:20 | If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? |
| 2:21 | -- thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle -- |
| 2:22 | which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men, |
| 2:23 | which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body -- not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh. |
| 2:1 | I wolde ye knewe what fyghtinge I have for youre sakes and for them of Laodicia and for as many as have not sene my parson in the flesshe |
| 2:2 | that their hertes myght be coforted and knet togedder in love and in all ryches of full vnderstondynge for to knowe ye mistery of God ye father and of Christ |
| 2:3 | in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. |
| 2:4 | This I saye lest eny man shuld begyle you with entysinge wordes. |
| 2:5 | For though I be absent in the flesshe yet am I present with you in the sprete ioyinge and beholdinge the order that ye kepe and youre stedfast fayth in Christ. |
| 2:6 | As ye have therfore receaved Christ Iesu the Lorde even so walke |
| 2:7 | roted and bylt in him and stedfaste in the fayth as ye have learned: and therin be plenteous in gevynge thankes. |
| 2:8 | Beware lest eny ma come and spoyle you thorow philosophy and disceatfull vanitie thorow the tradicions of me and ordinaunces after the worlde and not after christ. |
| 2:9 | For in him dwelleth all the fulnes of the godheed bodyly |
| 2:10 | and ye are complete in him which is the heed of all rule and power |
| 2:11 | in whom also ye are circucised with circumcision made mith out hondes by puttinge of the sinfull boddy of the flesshe thorow the circumcision yt is in Christ |
| 2:12 | in that ye are buryed with him thorow baptim in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth that is wrought by the operacion of god which raysed him from deeth. |
| 2:13 | And ye which weare deed in synne thorow ye vncircucision of youre flesshe hath he quyckened wt him and hath forgeve vs all oure trespases |
| 2:14 | and hath put out ye handwritinge yt was agaynst vs cotayned in ye lawe writte and that hath he take out of the waye and hath fastened it to his crosse |
| 2:15 | and hath spoyled rule and power and hath made a shewe of the openly and hath triumphed over them in his awne persone. |
| 2:16 | Let no ma therfore trouble youre conscieces aboute meate and drynke or for a pece of an holydaye as the holydaye of the newe mone or of the sabboth dayes |
| 2:17 | which are nothinge but shaddowes of thynges to come: but the body is in Christ. |
| 2:18 | Let no man make you shote at a wroge (marke) which after his awne ymaginacion walketh in the humblenes and holynes of angels thinges which he never sawe: causlesse puft vp with his flesshly mynde |
| 2:19 | and holdeth not the heed wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaveth norisshment and is knet to gedder and encreaseth with the in creasynge that commeth of god. |
| 2:20 | Wherfore if ye be deed with Christ fro ordinaunces of the worlde why as though ye yet lived in the worlde are ye ledde with tradicios of them that saye? |
| 2:21 | Touche not tast not handell not: |
| 2:22 | which all perysshe wt the vsinge of the and are after the comaundmentes and doctrins of men |
| 2:23 | which thinges have the similitude of wisdome in chosen holynes and humblenes and in that they spare not the body and do the flesshe no worshype vnto his nede. |
| 2:1 | I wolde ye knewe what fightinge I haue for youre sakes, and for them of Laodicea, and for as many as haue not sene my personne in the flesh, |
| 2:2 | that their hertes mighte be comforted and knytt together in loue, to all riches of full vnderstodinge, which is in the knowlege of the mystery of God the father and of Christ, |
| 2:3 | in whom are hyd all the treasures of wyssdome and knowlege. |
| 2:4 | This I saye, lest eny man shulde begyle you with entysinge wordes. |
| 2:5 | For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I present with you in the sprete: ioyenge, and beholdinge youre order and the stedfastnes of youre faith in Christ. |
| 2:6 | As ye haue therfore receaued Christ Iesu the LORDE, euen so walke in him, |
| 2:7 | and be roted & buylded in him, and be stedfast in faith, as ye haue learned: & be plenteous in the same in geuynge thankes. |
| 2:8 | Bewarre lest eny ma spoyle you thorow philosophy and disceatfull vanite after the tradicions of men, and after the ordinauces of the worlde, and not after Christ. |
| 2:9 | For in him dwelleth all the fulnes of the Godheade bodely, |
| 2:10 | and ye are complete in him, which is the heade of all rule and power: |
| 2:11 | in whom also ye are circumcysed with circumcision without handes, by puttynge of the synfull body of the flesh: (namely) with the circumcysion of Christ, |
| 2:12 | in that ye are buried with him thorow baptyme: in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorow faith, that is wrought by the operacion of God, which raysed him vp from the deed. |
| 2:13 | And with him he quyckened you, whan ye were deed in synnes, and in the vncircumcision of youre flesh, and hath forgeuen vs all synnes, |
| 2:14 | and put out the handwrytinge that was agaynst vs (cotayned in the lawe wrytten) and that hath he taken out of the waye, and fastened it to the crosse: |
| 2:15 | And hath spoyled rule and power, and hath made a shewe of them openly, and triumphed ouer them in his awne persone. |
| 2:16 | Let no man therfore trouble youre consciences aboute meate or drynke, or for a pece of an holy daye, as the holy daye of ye newe Mone, or of the Sabbath dayes, |
| 2:17 | which are the shadowe of the thinges that were for to come: but the body selfe is in Christ. |
| 2:18 | Let no man make you shote at a wronge mark, which after his owne chosynge walketh in humblenes and spiritualtye of angels, thinges which he neuer sawe, and is vayne, and puft vp in his owne fleshly mynde: |
| 2:19 | and holdeth not himselfe to the heade, wherof the whole body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norishment, and is knyt together, and so groweth to the greatnes that commeth of God. |
| 2:20 | Wherfore yf ye be deed with Christ from the ordinaunces of the worlde, why are ye holden the with soch tradicions, as though ye lyued after the worlde? As whan they saye: |
| 2:21 | Touch not this, taist not that, handle not that. |
| 2:22 | All these thinges do hurte vnto men, because of the abuse of them, which abuse commeth onely of the commaundementes and doctrynes of men: |
| 2:23 | which thinges haue a shyne of wyssdome thorow chosen spiritualtie and humblenes, and in that they spare not the body, and do the flesh no worshipe vnto his nede. |
