Colossians 2
1 For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
θελω γαρ υμασ ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι
2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,
ινα παρακληθωσιν αι καρδιαι αυτων συμβιβασθεντων εν αγαπη και εισ παντα πλουτον τησ πληροφοριασ τησ συνεσεωσ εισ επιγνωσιν του μυστηριου του θεου και πατροσ και του χριστου
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
εν ω εισιν παντεσ οι θησαυροι τησ σοφιασ και τησ γνωσεωσ αποκρυφοι
4 Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τισ υμασ παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
ει γαρ και τη σαρκι απειμι αλλα τω πνευματι συν υμιν ειμι χαιρων και βλεπων υμων την ταξιν και το στερεωμα τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ υμων
6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
ωσ ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον εν αυτω περιπατειτε
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθωσ εδιδαχθητε περισσευοντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
8 Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after Christ.
βλεπετε μη τισ υμασ εσται ο συλαγωγων δια τησ φιλοσοφιασ και κενησ απατησ κατα την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων κατα τα στοιχεια του κοσμου και ου κατα χριστον
9 For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα τησ θεοτητοσ σωματικωσ
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι οσ εστιν η κεφαλη πασησ αρχησ και εξουσιασ
11 In him you were also 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 Christ,
εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματοσ των αμαρτιων τησ σαρκοσ εν τη περιτομη του χριστου
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
συνταφεντεσ αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια τησ πιστεωσ τησ ενεργειασ του θεου του εγειραντοσ αυτον εκ των νεκρων
13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
και υμασ νεκρουσ οντασ εν τοισ παραπτωμασιν και τη ακροβυστια τησ σαρκοσ υμων συνεζωοποιησεν υμασ συν αυτω χαρισαμενοσ ημιν παντα τα παραπτωματα
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
εξαλειψασ το καθ ημων χειρογραφον τοισ δογμασιν ο ην υπεναντιον ημιν και αυτο ηρκεν εκ του μεσου προσηλωσασ αυτο τω σταυρω
15 Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
απεκδυσαμενοσ τασ αρχασ και τασ εξουσιασ εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια θριαμβευσασ αυτουσ εν αυτω
16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
μη ουν τισ υμασ κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτησ η νουμηνιασ η σαββατων
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων το δε σωμα χριστου
18 Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
μηδεισ υμασ καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων εικη φυσιουμενοσ υπο του νοοσ τησ σαρκοσ αυτου
19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.
και ου κρατων την κεφαλην εξ ου παν το σωμα δια των αφων και συνδεσμων επιχορηγουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον αυξει την αυξησιν του θεου
20 If you died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
ει απεθανετε συν χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου τι ωσ ζωντεσ εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγησ
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
α εστιν παντα εισ φθοραν τη αποχρησει κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιασ των ανθρωπων
23 These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
ατινα εστιν λογον μεν εχοντα σοφιασ εν εθελοθρησκεια και ταπεινοφροσυνη και αφειδια σωματοσ ουκ εν τιμη τινι προσ πλησμονην τησ σαρκοσ
