51:002:003 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
51:002:004 And this I say, lest any man should beguile
you with enticing
words.
51:002:005 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.
51:002:006 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus
the Lord, so walk
ye
in him:
51:002:007 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished
in the faith, as ye
have
been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
51:002:008 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.
51:002:009 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
51:002:010 And ye are complete in him, which is the
head of all
principality
and power:
51:002:011 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:
51:002:012 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.
51:002:013 And you, being dead in your sins and the
uncircumcision of
your
flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
forgiven
you all trespasses;
51:002:014 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;
51:002:015 And having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew
of
them openly, triumphing over them in it.
51:002:016 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:
51:002:017 Which are a shadow of things to come; but
the body is of
Christ.
51:002:018 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,
51:002:019 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.
51:002:020 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,
51:002:021 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
51:002:022 Which all are to perish with the using;)
after the
commandments
and doctrines of men?
