1: I want_G2309 for_G1063 you_G4771 to know_G1492 how great_G2245 a struggle_G0073 I am having_G2192 for_G5228 you,_G4771 and_G2532 those_G3588 in_G1722 Laodicea,_G2993 and_G2532 as many as_G3745 not_G3756 have seen_G3708 the_G3588 face_G4383 of me_G1473 in_G1722 [the] flesh,_G4561

2: that_G2443 may be encouraged_G3870 the_G3588 hearts_G2588 of them,_G0846 having been knit together_G4822 in_G1722 love,_G0026 and_G2532 to_G1519 all_G3956 [the] riches_G4149 of the_G3588 full assurance_G4136 -_G3588 of understanding,_G4907 to_G1519 [the] knowledge_G1922 of the_G3588 mystery_G3466 -_G3588 of God,_G2316 [which is] Christ,_G5547

3: in_G1722 whom_G3739 are_G1510 all_G3956 the_G3588 treasures_G2344 -_G3588 of wisdom_G4678 and_G2532 of knowledge_G1108 hidden._G0614

4: This_G3778 I say_G3004 so that_G2443 no one_G3367 you_G4771 might delude_G3884 by_G1722 persuasive speech._G4086

5: If_G1487 truly_G1063 indeed_G2532 in the_G3588 flesh_G4561 I am absent,_G0548 yet_G0235 -_G3588 in spirit_G4151 with_G4862 you_G4771 I am,_G1510 rejoicing_G5463 and_G2532 seeing_G0991 your_G4771 -_G3588 good order_G5010 and_G2532 the_G3588 firmness_G4733 of the_G3588 in_G1519 Christ_G5547 faith_G4102 of you._G4771

6: Just as_G5613 therefore_G3767 you have received_G3880 -_G3588 Christ_G5547 Jesus_G2424 the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 in_G1722 Him_G0846 walk,_G4043

7: having been rooted_G4492 and_G2532 being built up_G2026 in_G1722 Him,_G0846 and_G2532 being strengthened in_G0950 the_G3588 faith_G4102 just as_G2531 you were taught,_G1321 abounding_G4052 in_G1722 it_G0846 with_G1722 thanksgiving._G2169

8: Take heed_G0991 lest_G3361 anyone_G5100 you_G4771 there will be_G1510 -_G3588 taking captive_G4812 through_G1223 -_G3588 philosophy_G5385 and_G2532 empty_G2756 deceit,_G0539 according to_G2596 the_G3588 tradition_G3862 -_G3588 of men,_G0444 according to_G2596 the_G3588 principles_G4747 of the_G3588 world_G2889 and_G2532 not_G3756 according to_G2596 Christ._G5547

9: For_G3754 in_G1722 Him_G0846 dwells_G2730 all_G3956 the_G3588 fullness_G4138 of the_G3588 Deity_G2320 bodily;_G4985

10: and_G2532 you are_G1510 in_G1722 Him_G0846 complete,_G4137 who_G3739 is_G1510 the_G3588 head_G2776 of all_G3956 rule_G0746 and_G2532 authority,_G1849

11: in_G1722 whom_G3739 also_G2532 you were circumcised_G4059 with [the] circumcision_G4061 made without hands,_G0886 in_G1722 the_G3588 removal_G0555 of the_G3588 body_G4983 of the_G3588 flesh,_G4561 in_G1722 the_G3588 circumcision_G4061 -_G3588 of Christ,_G5547

12: having been buried with_G4916 Him_G0846 in_G1722 -_G3588 baptism,_G0909 in_G1722 which_G3739 also_G2532 you were raised with [Him]_G4891 through_G1223 the_G3588 faith_G4102 of the_G3588 working_G1753 -_G3588 of God,_G2316 the [One]_G3588 having raised_G1453 Him_G0846 out from_G1537 the dead._G3498

13: And_G2532 you_G4771 dead_G3498 being_G1510 in_G1722 the_G3588 trespasses_G3900 and_G2532 in the_G3588 uncircumcision_G0203 of the_G3588 flesh_G4561 of you,_G4771 He made alive together_G4806 you_G4771 with_G4862 Him,_G0846 having forgiven_G5483 us_G1473 all_G3956 the_G3588 transgressions,_G3900

14: having blotted out_G1813 the_G3588 against_G2596 us_G1473 handwriting_G5498 in the_G3588 decrees,_G1378 which_G3739 was_G1510 adverse_G5227 to us;_G1473 and_G2532 it_G0846 He has taken_G0142 out of_G1537 the_G3588 way,_G3319 having nailed_G4338 it_G0846 to the_G3588 cross._G4716

15: Having disarmed_G0554 the_G3588 rulers_G0746 and_G2532 the_G3588 authorities,_G1849 He made a show [of them]_G1165 in_G1722 public,_G3954 having triumphed_G2358 over them_G0846 in_G1722 it._G0846

16: Not_G3361 therefore_G3767 anyone_G5100 you_G4771 let judge_G2919 in regard to_G1722 food,_G1035 or_G2532 in regard to_G1722 drink,_G4213 or_G2228 in_G1722 regard_G3313 to a feast,_G1859 or_G2228 a New Moon,_G3561 or_G2228 Sabbaths,_G4521

17: which_G3739 are_G1510 a shadow_G4639 the things_G3588 coming;_G3195 the_G3588 however_G1161 body [is]_G4983 -_G3588 of Christ._G5547

18: No one_G3367 you_G4771 let disqualify,_G2603 delighting_G2309 in_G1722 humility_G5012 and_G2532 [the] worship_G2356 of the_G3588 angels,_G0032 which_G3739 he has seen_G3708 detailing,_G1687 vainly_G1500 being puffed up_G5448 by_G5259 the_G3588 mind_G3563 of the_G3588 flesh_G4561 of him,_G0846

19: and_G2532 not_G3756 holding fast_G2902 to the_G3588 head,_G2776 from_G1537 whom_G3739 all_G3956 the_G3588 body,_G4983 by_G1223 the_G3588 joints_G0860 and_G2532 ligaments_G4886 being supplied_G2023 and_G2532 being knit together,_G4822 increases_G0837 with the_G3588 increase_G0838 -_G3588 of God._G2316

20: If_G1487 you have died_G0599 with_G4862 Christ_G5547 away from_G0575 the_G3588 principles_G4747 of the_G3588 world,_G2889 why_G5101 as if_G5613 living_G2198 in_G1722 [the] world,_G2889 do you submit to decrees:_G1379

21: Not_G3361 you should handle!_G0680 Not_G3366 you should taste!_G1089 Not_G3366 you should touch!_G2345

22: which_G3739 are_G1510 all_G3956 unto_G1519 decay_G5356 with the_G3588 use,_G0671 according to_G2596 the_G3588 commandments_G1778 and_G2532 teachings_G1319 -_G3588 of men,_G0444

23: which_G3748 are_G1510 an appearance_G3056 indeed_G3303 having_G2192 of wisdom,_G4678 in_G1722 self-imposed worship_G1479 and_G2532 humility_G5012 and_G2532 harsh treatment_G0857 of [the] body,_G4983 not_G3756 of_G1722 honor_G5092 a certain,_G5100 against_G4314 [the] indulgence_G4140 of the_G3588 flesh._G4561
