Προς Κολοσσαεις 2
1 θελω γαρ υμασ ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι
I want for you to know how great a struggle I am having (for *N+kO) you and those in Laodicea and as many as not have seen the face of me in [the] flesh,
2 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
that may be encouraged the hearts of them (being knit together *N+kO) in love and to (all *N+kO) (the *o) (richness *N+kO) of the full assurance of understanding to [the] knowledge of the mystery of God (and *K) (Father *KO) (and *K) (the *KO) Christ,
3 εν ω εισιν παντεσ οι θησαυροι τησ σοφιασ και τησ γνωσεωσ αποκρυφοι
in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge hidden;
4 τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τισ υμασ παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια
This (now *ko) I say so that (no one *N+kO) you may delude by persuasive speech;
5 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
If truly even in the flesh I am absent, yet in spirit with you I am, rejoicing and seeing your good order and the firmness of the in Christ faith of you.
6 ωσ ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον εν αυτω περιπατειτε
Just as therefore you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, in Him do walk
7 ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθωσ εδιδαχθητε περισσευοντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
rooted and being built up in Him and being strengthened in (in *ko) the faith even as you were taught, abounding (in to her *ko) with thanksgiving.
8 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
do take heed lest anyone you there will be who is taking captive through philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men, according to the principles of the world and not according to Christ;
9 οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα τησ θεοτητοσ σωματικωσ
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Deity bodily,
10 και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι οσ εστιν η κεφαλη πασησ αρχησ και εξουσιασ
and you are in Him completed, who is the head of all rule and authority;
11 εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματοσ των αμαρτιων τησ σαρκοσ εν τη περιτομη του χριστου
in whom also you were circumcised with [the] circumcision made without hands in the removal of the body (of the sins *K) of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
12 συνταφεντεσ αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια τησ πιστεωσ τησ ενεργειασ του θεου του εγειραντοσ αυτον εκ των νεκρων
having been buried with Him in (baptism *N+kO) in which also you were raised with [Him] through the faith of the working of God the [One who] having raised Him out from (the *k) dead.
13 και υμασ νεκρουσ οντασ εν τοισ παραπτωμασιν και τη ακροβυστια τησ σαρκοσ υμων συνεζωοποιησεν υμασ συν αυτω χαρισαμενοσ ημιν παντα τα παραπτωματα
And you dead being in the trespasses and in the uncircumcision of the flesh of you, He made alive together (you *NO) with Him having forgiven us all the transgressions;
14 εξαλειψασ το καθ ημων χειρογραφον τοισ δογμασιν ο ην υπεναντιον ημιν και αυτο ηρκεν εκ του μεσου προσηλωσασ αυτο τω σταυρω
having blotted out the against us handwriting in the decrees which was adverse to us, and it He has taken out of the way having nailed it to the cross;
15 απεκδυσαμενοσ τασ αρχασ και τασ εξουσιασ εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια θριαμβευσασ αυτουσ εν αυτω
Having disarmed the rulers and the authorities He disgraced [them] in public, having triumphed over them in it.
16 μη ουν τισ υμασ κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτησ η νουμηνιασ η σαββατων
Not therefore anyone you should judge in regard to food (or *N+kO) in regard to drink or in regard to a feast or a New Moon or Sabbaths,
17 α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων το δε σωμα χριστου
which are a shadow of the [things] coming, the however body [is] of Christ.
18 μηδεισ υμασ καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων εικη φυσιουμενοσ υπο του νοοσ τησ σαρκοσ αυτου
No one you should disqualify delighting in humility and [the] worship of the angels, which (not *K) he has seen detailing vainly being puffed up by the mind of the flesh of him,
19 και ου κρατων την κεφαλην εξ ου παν το σωμα δια των αφων και συνδεσμων επιχορηγουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον αυξει την αυξησιν του θεου
and not holding fast to the head from whom all the body through the joints and ligaments being supplied and being knit together it increases with the increase of God.
20 ει απεθανετε συν χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου τι ωσ ζωντεσ εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε
If (therefore *K) you have died with Christ away from the principles of the world, why as if living in [the] world do you submit to decrees?
21 μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγησ
Not you may handle Not you may taste Not you may touch!
22 α εστιν παντα εισ φθοραν τη αποχρησει κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιασ των ανθρωπων
which are all unto decay with the use according to the commandments and teachings of men;
23 ατινα εστιν λογον μεν εχοντα σοφιασ εν εθελοθρησκεια και ταπεινοφροσυνη και αφειδια σωματοσ ουκ εν τιμη τινι προσ πλησμονην τησ σαρκοσ
which are an appearance indeed having of wisdom with self-imposed worship and with humility and with harsh treatment of [the] body, not of honor a certain against [the] indulgence of the flesh.
