1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on behalf of you, and those in Laodicea, and all those who have not seen my face ⌊in person⌋*,
2 so that their hearts may be encouraged, united in love and into all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ,
3 in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 I say this in order that no one will deceive you with persuasive speech,
5 for even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, live in him,
7 firmly rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding with thankfulness.
8 Beware lest ⌊anyone take you captive⌋* through philosophy and empty deceit, according to ⌊human tradition⌋*, according to the elemental spirits of the world and not according to Christ,
9 because in him all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10 and you are filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority,
11 in whom also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made by hands, by the removal of the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which also you were raised together with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

14 having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by* nailing it to the cross.
15 When he* had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.*
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you with reference to eating or* drinking or participation in a feast or a new moon or a Sabbath,
17 which are a shadow of what is to come, but the reality is Christ.
18 Let no one condemn you, taking pleasure in humility and the worship of angels, going into detail about the things which he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,
19 and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by the ligaments and sinews, grows with the growth of God.
20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as if living in the world?
21 "Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,"
22 which things are all meant for destruction by consuming according to human commandments and teachings,
23 which things ⌊although they have⌋*,* to be sure, an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and humility and unsparing treatment of the body, ⌊do not have any value⌋* against the indulgence of the flesh.
