Colossians 2
1 For I would that all of you 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;
volo enim vos scire qualem sollicitudinem habeam pro vobis et pro his qui sunt Laodiciae et quicumque non viderunt faciem meam in carne
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in (agape) love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
ut consolentur corda ipsorum instructi in caritate et in omnes divitias plenitudinis intellectus in agnitionem mysterii Dei Patris Christi Iesu
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
in quo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiae et scientiae absconditi
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
hoc autem dico ut nemo vos decipiat in subtilitate sermonum
5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the (pneuma) spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
nam et si corpore absens sum sed spiritu vobiscum sum gaudens et videns ordinem vestrum et firmamentum eius quae in Christo est fidei vestrae
6 As all of you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk all of you in him:
sicut ergo accepistis Christum Iesum Dominum in ipso ambulate
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as all of you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
radicati et superaedificati in ipso et confirmati fide sicut et didicistis abundantes in gratiarum actione
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.
videte ne quis vos decipiat per philosophiam et inanem fallaciam secundum traditionem hominum secundum elementa mundi et non secundum Christum
9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
quia in ipso inhabitat omnis plenitudo divinitatis corporaliter
10 And all of you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
et estis in illo repleti qui est caput omnis principatus et potestatis
11 In whom also all of you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
in quo et circumcisi estis circumcisione non manufacta in expoliatione corporis carnis in circumcisione Christi
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also all of you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead.
consepulti ei in baptismo in quo et resurrexistis per fidem operationis Dei qui suscitavit illum a mortuis
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
et vos cum mortui essetis in delictis et praeputio carnis vestrae convivificavit cum illo donans vobis omnia delicta
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;
delens quod adversum nos erat chirografum decretis quod erat contrarium nobis et ipsum tulit de medio adfigens illud cruci
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
expolians principatus et potestates traduxit palam triumphans illos in semet ipso
16 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
nemo ergo vos iudicet in cibo aut in potu aut in parte diei festi aut neomeniae aut sabbatorum
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
quae sunt umbra futurorum corpus autem Christi
18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
nemo vos seducat volens in humilitate et religione angelorum quae non vidit ambulans frustra inflatus sensu carnis suae
19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
et non tenens caput ex quo totum corpus per nexus et coniunctiones subministratum et constructum crescit in augmentum Dei
20 Wherefore if all of you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are all of you subject to ordinances,
si mortui estis cum Christo ab elementis mundi quid adhuc tamquam viventes in mundo decernitis
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
ne tetigeris neque gustaveris neque contrectaveris
22 Which all are to perish with the using; ) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
quae sunt omnia in interitu ipso usu secundum praecepta et doctrinas hominum
23 Which things have indeed a (logos) show of wisdom religious outlook, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
quae sunt rationem quidem habentia sapientiae in superstitione et humilitate et ad non parcendum corpori non in honore aliquo ad saturitatem carnis
