| Colossians 2 Text (WEB)
|
- 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;
- 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,
- in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
- Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
- For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
- As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,
- rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
- Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
- For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
- and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;
- in whom 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;
- 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.
- 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,
- wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
- having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
- Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
- which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
- Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
- 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.
- If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
- "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch"
- (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
- Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

- הנני מודיע אתכם גדל הקרב אשר בקרבי על אדותיכם ועל אדות אנשי לודקיא ועל כל אשר לא ראו את פני בבשר׃
- למען ינחמו לבותם ונקשרו יחד באהבה ולכל עשר דעת נכונה להשכיל סוד האלהים אבינו וסוד המשיח׃
- אשר צפונים בו כל אצרות החכמה והדעת׃
- וזאת אמר אני לכם למען אשר לא יטעה אתכם איש בשפתי חלקות׃
- כי גם אם בבשרי אני רחוק מכם הנה ברוחי אני אצלכם ואשמח בראתי את תכונתכם ואמץ אמונתכם במשיח׃
- לכן כאשר קבלתם את המשיח את ישוע אדנינו כן גם התהלכו בו׃
- משרשים ונבנים בו וקימים באמונה כאשר למדתם ומרבים בתודה בה׃
- הזהרו פן יוליך איש אתכם שולל בפילסופיה ובמדוחי שוא לפי קבלת בני האדם ויסדות העולם ולא על פי המשיח׃
- כי בו בגופו שכן כל מלא האלהות ובו אתם נמלאים׃
- אשר הוא ראש כל שררה ושלטן׃
- ובו אתם גם נמולים מילה שלא בידים בהפשטת גוף הבשר החוטא היא מילת המשיח׃
- כי נקברתם אתו בטבילה אף קמתם אתו בתחיה על ידי האמונה בגבורת אלהים אשר העירו מן המתים׃
- גם אתכם המתים בפשעים ובערלת בשרכם החיה אתו בסלח לכם את כל פשעיכם׃
- וימחק את השטר המעיד בנו בחקתיו אשר היה לנגדנו וישאהו מתוכנו ויתקעהו בצלב׃
- ויפשט את השרים והשליטים ויתנם ביד רמה לראוה בם ויוליכם שולל בנפשו׃
- על כן לא ידין איש אתכם על דבר מאכל ומשקה או בענין המועדים וראשי חדשים ושבתות׃
- אשר הם צל הדברים העתידים לבא וגופם הוא במשיח׃
- אל תתנו לאיש לעקב אתכם על ידי שפלות רוח ועבודה מלאכים המהלך בדברים אשר לא ראו עיניו ומלא רוח גאוה על לא דבר משכל בשרו׃
- ואיננו אחז בראש אשר מחבר ממנו כל הגוף ומאחז בציריו ודבקיו יגדל גדול אלהים׃
- לכן אם מתם עם המשיח ליסודת העולם למה תשתעבדו לחקים כאלו עדכם חיים בעולם׃
- אל תאחז אל תטעם אל תגע׃
- והם כלם לכליון בתשמישם לפי מצות אנשים ולמודיהם׃
- הנראים כעין חכמה בעבודה בדויה מלב ובשפלות רוח ובענוי הגוף שלא כהגן רק להשביע הבשר׃

| Colossians 2 Text (Latin)

- Volo enim vos scire qualem sollicitudinem habeam pro vobis, et pro iis qui sunt Laodiciæ, et quicumque non viderunt faciem meam in carne :
- ut consolentur corda ipsorum, instructi in caritate, et in omnes divitias plenitudinis intellectus, in agnitionem mysterii Dei Patris et Christi Jesu :
- in quo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiæ et scientiæ absconditi.
- Hoc autem dico, ut nemo vos decipiat in sublimitate sermonum.
- Nam etsi corpore absens sum, sed spiritu vobiscum sum : gaudens, et videns ordinem vestrum, et firmamentum ejus, quæ in Christo est, fidei vestræ.
- Sicut ergo accepistis Jesum Christum Dominum, in ipso ambulate,
- radicati, et superædificati in ipso, et confirmati fide, sicut et didicistis, abundantes in illo in gratiarum actione.
- Videte ne quis vos decipiat per philosophiam, et inanem fallaciam secundum traditionem hominum, secundum elementa mundi, et non secundum Christum :
- quia in ipso inhabitat omnis plenitudo divinitatis corporaliter :
- et estis in illo repleti, qui est caput omnis principatus et potestatis :
- in quo et circumcisi estis circumcisione non manu facta in expoliatione corporis carnis, sed in circumcisione Christi :
- consepulti ei in baptismo, in quo et resurrexistis per fidem operationis Dei, qui suscitavit illum a mortuis.
- Et vos cum mortui essetis in delictis, et præputio carnis vestræ, convivificavit cum illo, donans vobis omnia delicta :
- delens quod adversus nos erat chirographum decreti, quod erat contrarium nobis, et ipsum tulit de medio, affigens illud cruci :
- et expolians principatus, et potestates traduxit confidenter, palam triumphans illos in semetipso.
- Nemo ergo vos judicet in cibo, aut in potu, aut in parte diei festi, aut neomeniæ, aut sabbatorum :
- quæ sunt umbra futurorum : corpus autem Christi.
- Nemo vos seducat, volens in humilitate, et religione angelorum, quæ non vidit ambulans, frustra inflatus sensu carnis suæ,
- et non tenens caput, ex quo totum corpus per nexus, et conjunctiones subministratum, et constructum crescit in augmentum Dei.
- Si ergo mortui estis cum Christo ab elementis hujus mundi : quid adhuc tamquam viventes in mundo decernitis ?
- Ne tetigeritis, neque gustaveritis, neque contrectaveritis :
- quæ sunt omnia in interitum ipso usu, secundum præcepta et doctrinas hominum :
- quæ sunt rationem quidem habentia sapientiæ in superstitione, et humilitate, et non ad parcendum corpori, non in honore aliquo ad saturitatem carnis.

| Colossians 2 Text (KJV)
|
- For I would that ye 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;
- That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in 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;
- In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
- For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
- As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
- Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
- 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.
- For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
- And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
- In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
- Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
- And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
- 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;
- And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
- Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
- Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
- Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
- And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
- Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
- (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
- Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
- Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
