| 1 | For I wish you to know that as great a struggle as I have for you, and those in Laodikeia, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, |
| 2 | that they may be encouraged in their hearts, being brought together in love, and to all riches of the certainty of understanding in the knowledge of the mystery of the Anointed of Yahweh, |
| 3 | in which are all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge concealed. |
| 4 | This I say, that no one would mislead you with persuasive speech. |
| 5 | For if even in the flesh I am absent, yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing and seeing your position and the firmness of your faith in Christ. |
| 6 | Therefore as you have received Christ, Yahshua the Prince, walk with Him. |
| 7 | Being planted and being built up by Him, and being established in the faith, just as you have been instructed, abounding in thanksgiving. |
| 8 | Watch that there be no one captivating you through philosophy and vain deceit, in accordance with the tradition of men, in accordance with the elements of the Society, and not in accordance with Christ. |
| 9 | For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Divinity bodily, |
| 10 | and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all sovereignty and authority, |
| 11 | by whom you also are circumcised, with a circumcision not made by hand, in the putting off of the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Anointed; |
| 12 | being buried together with Him in that immersion by which also you were raised up together through the faith of the operation of Yahweh who raised Him from the dead. |
| 13 | And you, being dead in transgressions and in the foreskin of your flesh, you He made alive together with Him, forgiving us all those transgressions. |
| 14 | Having wiped out the handwriting against us in the ordinances which were opposed to us, even this He has taken out of the way, nailing it to the cross. |
| 15 | Stripping the sovereignties and authorities which He exposed publicly, triumphing over them in it. |
| 16 | Therefore no one must judge you in food and in drink, or in respect of feast or new month or of the Sabbaths, |
| 17 | which are a shadow of future things. Whereas the body is of the Anointed, |
| 18 | let no one find you unworthy of reward, being willing with humiliation even in worship of the Messengers; stepping into things which one sees, heedlessly inflated by the mind of one's flesh, |
| 19 | and not grasping the Head, from whom the whole body, through the joints and bonds being supplied and brought together, increases with the increase of Yahweh. |
| 20 | If you have died with Christ from the elements of the Society, why as if alive in the Society are you subject to ordinances? |
| 21 | One should not hold, nor should one taste, nor should one touch, |
| 22 | (things which are all for corruption in their misuse,) according to the commands and instructions of men? |
| 23 | Things which are a statement indeed, holding wisdom in submissive worship and in humiliation and disregard of the body, not in any esteem for satisfaction of the flesh. |
