You Are Built Up in Christ

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:1 -

For I want G2309 you to know G6063 how G2245 great G2245 a struggle G73 I have G2192 in G5228 your behalf G5228 and for those G3588 who G3588 are at Laodicea G2993, and for all G3745 those who G3745 have not [fn]personally G4561 seen G3708 my face G4383,

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:2 - that their hearts G2588 may be encouraged G3870, having been knit G4822 together G4822 in love G26, and that they would attain to all G3956 the wealth G4149 [fn]that comes from the full G4136 assurance G4136 of understanding G4907, resulting in a true G1922 knowledge G1922 of God’s G2316 mystery G3466, that is, Christ G5547 Himself,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:3 - in whom G3739 are hidden G614 all G3956 the treasures G2344 of wisdom G4678 and knowledge G1108.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:4 - I say G3004 this G3778 so G2443 that G2443 no G3367 one G3367 will deceive G3884 you with persuasive G4086 arguments G4086.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:5 - For even G2532 though G1487 I am G548 absent G548 in body G4561, I am G1510 nevertheless G235 with you in spirit G4151, rejoicing G5463 [fn]to see G991 [fn]your orderly G5010 manner G5010 and the stability G4733 of your faith G4102 in Christ G5547.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:6 -

Therefore G3767, as you have received G3880 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 the Lord G2962, so [fn]walk G4043 in Him,

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:7 - having been firmly G4492 rooted G4492 and now being built G2026 up G2026 in Him and established G950 [fn]in [fn]your faith G4102, just G2531 as G2531 you were instructed G1321, and overflowing G4052 [fn]with gratitude G2169.

See G991 to it that there is no G3361 one G5100 who takes G4812 you captive G4812 through G1223 philosophy G5385 and empty G2756 deception G539 in G2596 accordance G2596 with G2596 human G444 tradition G3862, in G2596 accordance G2596 with G2596 the elementary G4747 principles G4747 of the world G2889, [fn]rather G3756 than G2532 G3756 in G2596 accordance G2596 with G2596 Christ G5547.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:9 - For in Him all G3956 the fullness G4138 of Deity G2320 dwells G2730 in bodily G4985 form G4985,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:10 - and in Him you have been G1510 made G4137 [fn]complete G4137, and He is the head G2776 [fn]over every G3956 ruler G746 and authority G1849;
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:11 - and in Him you were also G2532 circumcised G4059 with a circumcision G4061 performed G886 without G886 hands G886, in the removal G555 of the body G4983 of the flesh G4561 by the circumcision G4061 of Christ G5547,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:12 - having been buried G4916 with Him in baptism G909, in which G3739 you were also G2532 raised G4891 with Him through G1223 faith G4102 in the working G1753 of God G2316, who raised G1453 Him from the dead G3498.

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:14 - having canceled G1813 the certificate G5498 of G5498 debt G5498 consisting of decrees G1378 against G2596 us, which G3739 was hostile G5227 to us; and He has taken G142 it out of the way G3319, having nailed G4338 it to the cross G4716.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:15 - When He had [fn]disarmed G554 the rulers G746 and authorities G1849, He made G1165 a public G3954 display G1165 of them, having triumphed G2358 over G2358 them through G1722 [fn]Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:16 -

Therefore G3767, no G3361 one G5100 is to [fn]act G2919 as G2919 your judge G2919 in regard to food G1035 and drink G4213, or G2228 in respect G3313 to a festival G1859 or G2228 a new G3561 moon G3561, or G2228 a Sabbath G4521 [fn]day—

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:17 - things which G3739 are only a shadow G4639 of what is to come G3195; but the [fn]substance G4983 [fn]belongs to Christ G5547.
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:18 - Take care that no G3367 one G3367 keeps [fn]defrauding G2603 you of G2603 your prize G2603 by delighting G2309 in humility G5012 and the worship G2356 of the angels G32, [fn]taking G1687 his stand G1687 on visions he has seen G3708, [fn]inflated G5448 without G1500 cause G1500 by his fleshly G4561 mind G3563,
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:19 - and not holding G2902 firmly G2902 to the head G2776, from whom G3739 the entire G3956 body G4983, being supplied G2023 and held G4822 together G4822 by the joints G860 and [fn]ligaments G4886, grows G837 with a growth G838 [fn]which is from God G2316.

If G1487 you have died G599 with Christ G5547 [fn]to the elementary G4747 principles G4747 of the world G2889, why G5101, as if G5613 you were living G2198 in the world G2889, do you submit G1379 yourself to G1379 decrees G1379, such as,

Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:21 - “Do not handle G681, do not taste G1089, do not touch G2345!”
Unchecked Copy BoxCol 2:22 - (which G3739 all G3956 refer to things destined to perish G5356 [fn]with use G671)—in accordance G2596 with the commandments G1778 and teachings G1319 of man G444?
