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)

2:17 Which 3739 are 2076 5748 a shadow 4639 of things to come 3195 5723; but 1161 the body 4983 [is] of Christ 5547.

2:18 Let 2603 0 no man 3367 beguile 2603 0 you 5209 of your reward 2603 5720 in 1722 a voluntary 2309 5723 humility 5012 and 2532 worshipping 2356 of angels 32, intruding into 1687 5723 those things which 3739 he hath 3708 0 not 3361 seen 3708 5758, vainly 1500 puffed up 5448 5746 by 5259 his 846 fleshly 4561 mind 3563,(beguile…: or, judge against you)(in a…: Gr. being a voluntary in humility)

2:19 And 2532 not 3756 holding 2902 5723 the Head 2776, from 1537 which 3739 all 3956 the body 4983 by 1223 joints 860 and 2532 bands 4886 having nourishment ministered 2023 5746, and 2532 knit together 4822 5746, increaseth 837 5719 with the increase 838 of God 2316.

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)

2:21 (Touch 680 5672 not 3361; taste 1089 5667 not 3366; handle 2345 5632 not 3366;

2:22 Which 3739 all 3956 are 2076 5748 to 1519 perish 5356 with the using 671;) after 2596 the commandments 1778 and 2532 doctrines 1319 of men 444?

2:23 Which things 3748 have 2192 5723 indeed 3303 a shew 2076 5748 3056 of wisdom 4678 in 1722 will worship 1479, and 2532 humility 5012, and 2532 neglecting 857 of the body 4983; not 3756 in 1722 any 5100 honour 5092 to 4314 the satisfying 4140 of the flesh 4561.(neglecting: or, punishing, or, not sparing)
