Colossians 2

1For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

θελω γαρ υμας ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι,

2that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

ινα παρακληθωσιν αι καρδιαι αυτων, συμβιβασθεντων εν αγαπη και εις παντα πλουτον της πληροφοριας της συνεσεως, εις επιγνωσιν του μυστηριου του θεου και πατρος και του χριστου,

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

εν ω εισιν παντες οι θησαυροι της σοφιας και της γνωσεως αποκρυφοι.

4Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τις υμας παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια·

5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

ει γαρ και τη σαρκι απειμι, αλλα τω πνευματι συν υμιν ειμι, χαιρων και βλεπων υμων την ταξιν και το στερεωμα της εις χριστον πιστεως υμων.

6As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

ως ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον, εν αυτω περιπατειτε,

7rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθως εδιδαχθητε, περισσευοντες εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια.

8Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

βλεπετε μη τις υμας εσται ο συλαγωγων δια της φιλοσοφιας και κενης απατης, κατα την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων, κατα τα στοιχεια του κοσμου και ου κατα χριστον·

9For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα της θεοτητος σωματικως,

10and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι, ος εστιν η κεφαλη πασης αρχης και εξουσιας,

11In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματος των αμαρτιων της σαρκος, εν τη περιτομη του χριστου,

12buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

συνταφεντες αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι, εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια της πιστεως της ενεργειας του θεου του εγειραντος αυτον εκ των νεκρων.

13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

και υμας, νεκρους οντας [εν] τοις παραπτωμασιν και τη ακροβυστια της σαρκος υμων, συνεζωοποιησεν υμας συν αυτω, χαρισαμενος ημιν παντα τα παραπτωματα,

14having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

εξαλειψας το καθ ημων χειρογραφον τοις δογμασιν ο ην υπεναντιον ημιν, και αυτο ηρεν εκ του μεσου προσηλωσας αυτο τω σταυρω·

15Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

απεκδυσαμενος τας αρχας και τας εξουσιας εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια, θριαμβευσας αυτους εν αυτω.

16So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

μη ουν τις υμας κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτης η νουμηνιας η σαββατων,

17which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων, το δε σωμα χριστου.

18Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

μηδεις υμας καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων, α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων, εικη φυσιουμενος υπο του νοος της σαρκος αυτου,

19and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

και ου κρατων την κεφαλην, εξ ου παν το σωμα δια των αφων και συνδεσμων επιχορηγουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον αυξει την αυξησιν του θεου.

20Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—

ει ουν απεθανετε συν τω χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου, τι ως ζωντες εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε,

21'Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,'

μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγης —

22which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

α εστιν παντα εις φθοραν τη αποχρησει — κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιας των ανθρωπων;

23These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

ατινα εστιν λογον μεν εχοντα σοφιας εν εθελοθρησκια και ταπεινοφροσυνη και αφειδια σωματος, ουκ εν τιμη τινι προς πλησμονην της σαρκος.
