1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I
  have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as
  many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
   2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit
  together in love, and unto all riches of the full
  assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of
  the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
   3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
  knowledge.
   4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you
  with enticing words.
   5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with
  you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order,
  and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
   6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the
  Lord, so walk ye in him:
   7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the
  faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
  thanksgiving.
   8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
  and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after
  the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
   9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
  bodily.
  10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
  all principality and power:
  11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the
  circumcision made without hands, in putting off the
  body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of
  Christ:
  12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are
  risen with him through the faith of the operation of
  God, who hath raised him from the dead.
  13 And you, being dead in your sins and the
  uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
  together with him, having forgiven you all
  trespasses;
  14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that
  was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it
  out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
  15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he
  made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in
  it.
  16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
  drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new
  moon, or of the sabbath days:
  17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body
  is of Christ.
  18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a
  voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,
  intruding into those things which he hath not seen,
  vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
  19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body
  by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,
  and knit together, increaseth with the increase of
  God.
  20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
  rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the
  world, are ye subject to ordinances,
  21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
  22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
  commandments and doctrines of men?
  23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will
  worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body;
  not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
