Colossians 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

You Are Built Up in Christ

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,

Col 2:2

Col 2:2that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth [fn]that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

Col 2:3

Col 2:3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Col 2:4

Col 2:4I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments.

Col 2:5

Col 2:5For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing [fn]to see [fn]your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.

Col 2:6

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

Col 2:7

Col 2:7having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established [fn]in [fn]your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing [fn]with gratitude.

Col 2:8

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.

Col 2:9

Col 2:9For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,

Col 2:10

Col 2:10and in Him you have been made [fn]complete, and He is the head [fn]over every ruler and authority;

Col 2:11

Col 2:11and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ,

Col 2:12

Col 2:12having 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.

Col 2:13

Col 2:13And [fn]when you were dead [fn]in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings,

Col 2:14

Col 2:14having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Col 2:15

Col 2:15When He had [fn]disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through [fn]Him.

Col 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—

Col 2:17

Col 2:17things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the [fn]substance [fn]belongs to Christ.

Col 2:18

Col 2:18Take care that no one keeps [fn]defrauding you of your prize by delighting in humility and the worship of the angels, [fn]taking his stand on visions he has seen, [fn]inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

Col 2:19

Col 2:19and not holding firmly to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and [fn]ligaments, grows with a growth [fn]which is from God.

Col 2:20

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,

Col 2:21

Col 2:21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”

Col 2:22

Col 2:22(which all refer to things destined to perish [fn]with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of man?

Col 2:23

Col 2:23These are matters which do have the [fn]appearance of wisdom in [fn]self-made religion and humility and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.
