| Colossians 2:1 | For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh: | For it is my desire to give you news of the great fight I am making for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not seen my face in the flesh; | For I desire to have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; |
| Colossians 2:2 | That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus: | So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ, | that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, |

| Colossians 2:8 | Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ: | Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ: | Be careful that you don't let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ. |

| Colossians 2:11 | In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ: | In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; | in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; |
| Colossians 2:12 | Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead. | Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead. | having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. |

He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; |
| Colossians 2:14 | Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross: | Having put an end to the handwriting of the law which was against us, taking it out of the way by nailing it to his cross; | having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he has taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross; |
| Colossians 2:15 | And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. | Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it. | having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. |

| Colossians 2:17 | Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. | For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's. | which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's. |
| Colossians 2:18 | Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh, | Let no man take your reward from you by consciously making little of himself and giving worship to angels; having his thoughts fixed on the things which he has seen, being foolishly lifted up in his natural mind, | Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, |
| Colossians 2:19 | And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth unto the increase of God. | And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God. | and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth. |
| Colossians 2:20 | If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world? | If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders | If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, |

| Colossians 2:23 | Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh. | These things seem to have a sort of wisdom in self-ordered worship and making little of oneself, and being cruel to the body, not honouring it by giving it its natural use. | Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. |
