2:1 | For <1063> I would <2309> (5719) that ye <5209> knew <1492> (5760) what great <2245> conflict <73> I have <2192> (5719) for <4012> you <5216>, and <2532> [for] them at <1722> Laodicea <2993>, and <2532> [for] as many as <3745> have <3708> (0) not <3756> seen <3708> (5758) my <3450> face <4383> in <1722> the flesh <4561>; {conflict: or, fear, or, care} |
2:2 | That <2443> their <846> hearts <2588> might be comforted <3870> (5686), being knit together <4822> (5685) in <1722> love <26>, and <2532> unto <1519> all <3956> riches <4149> of the full assurance <4136> of understanding <4907>, to <1519> the acknowledgement <1922> of the mystery <3466> of God <2316>, and <2532> of the Father <3962>, and <2532> of Christ <5547>; |
2:3 | In <1722> whom <3739> are <1526> (5748) hid <614> all <3956> the treasures <2344> of wisdom <4678> and <2532> knowledge <1108>. {In whom: or, Wherein} |
2:4 | And <1161> this <5124> I say <3004> (5719), lest <3363> any man <5100> should beguile <3884> (5741) you <5209> with <1722> enticing words <4086>. |
2:5 | For <1063> though <1499> I be absent <548> (5748) in the flesh <4561>, yet <235> am I <1510> (5748) with <4862> you <5213> in the spirit <4151>, joying <5463> (5723) and <2532> beholding <991> (5723) your <5216> order <5010>, and <2532> the stedfastness <4733> of your <5216> faith <4102> in <1519> Christ <5547>. |
2:6 | As <5613> ye have <3880> (0) therefore <3767> received <3880> (5627) Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> the Lord <2962>, [so] walk ye <4043> (5720) in <1722> him <846>: |
2:7 | Rooted <4492> (5772) and <2532> built up <2026> (5746) in <1722> him <846>, and <2532> stablished <950> (5746) in <1722> the faith <4102>, as <2531> ye have been taught <1321> (5681), abounding <4052> (5723) therein <1722> <846> with <1722> thanksgiving <2169>. |
2:8 | Beware <991> (5720) lest <3361> any man <5100> spoil <2071> (5704) <4812> (5723) you <5209> through <1223> philosophy <5385> and <2532> vain <2756> deceit <539>, after <2596> the tradition <3862> of men <444>, after <2596> the rudiments <4747> of the world <2889>, and <2532> not <3756> after <2596> Christ <5547>. {rudiments: or, elements} {make a prey: or, seduce you, or, lead you astray} |
2:9 | For <3754> in <1722> him <846> dwelleth <2730> (5719) all <3956> the fulness <4138> of the Godhead <2320> bodily <4985>. |
2:10 | And <2532> ye are <2075> (5748) complete <4137> (5772) in <1722> him <846>, which <3739> is <2076> (5748) the head <2776> of all <3956> principality <746> and <2532> power <1849>: |
2:11 | In <1722> whom <3739> also <2532> ye are circumcised <4059> (5681) with the circumcision <4061> made without hands <886>, in <1722> putting off <555> the body <4983> of the sins <266> of the flesh <4561> by <1722> the circumcision <4061> of Christ <5547>: |
2:12 | Buried with <4916> (5651) him <846> in <1722> baptism <908>, wherein <1722> <3739> also <2532> ye are risen with <4891> (5681) [him] through <1223> the faith <4102> of the operation <1753> of God <2316>, who <3588> hath raised <1453> (5660) him <846> from <1537> the dead <3498>. |
2:13 | And <2532> you <5209>, being <5607> (5752) dead <3498> in <1722> your sins <3900> and <2532> the uncircumcision <203> of your <5216> flesh <4561>, hath he quickened together <4806> (5656) with <4862> him <846>, having forgiven <5483> (5666) you <5213> all <3956> trespasses <3900>; |
2:14 | Blotting out <1813> (5660) the handwriting <5498> of ordinances <1378> that was against <2596> us <2257>, which <3739> was <2258> (5713) contrary <5227> to us <2254>, and <2532> took <142> (5758) it <846> out of <1537> the way <3319>, nailing <4338> (5660) it <846> to his cross <4716>; |
2:15 | [And] having spoiled <554> (5666) principalities <746> and <2532> powers <1849>, he made a shew of them <1165> (5656) openly <1722> <3954>, triumphing over <2358> (5660) them <846> in <1722> it <846>. {in it: or, in himself} |
2:16 | Let <2919> (0) no <3361> man <5100> therefore <3767> judge <2919> (5720) you <5209> in <1722> meat <1035>, or <2228> in <1722> drink <4213>, or <2228> in <1722> respect <3313> of an holyday <1859>, or <2228> of the new moon <3561>, or <2228> of the sabbath <4521> [days]: {in meat...: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part} |

2:20 | Wherefore <3767> if <1487> ye be dead <599> (5627) with <4862> Christ <5547> from <575> the rudiments <4747> of the world <2889>, why <5101>, as though <5613> living <2198> (5723) in <1722> the world <2889>, are ye subject to ordinances <1379> (5743), {rudiments: or, elements} |
