| 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 I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; | For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally, |
| 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: | That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; | in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself. |
| Colossians 2:3 | In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. | In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. | In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view. |

| Colossians 2:5 | For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you; rejoicing, and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ. | 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. | For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ. |
| Colossians 2:6 | As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him; | As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: | As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him; |
| Colossians 2:7 | Rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned, abounding in him in thanksgiving. | Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. | having the roots of your being firmly planted in Him, and continually building yourselves up in Him, and always being increasingly confirmed in the faith as you were taught it, and abounding in it with thanksgiving. |
| 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: | 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. | Take care lest there be some one who leads you away as prisoners by means of his philosophy and idle fancies, following human traditions and the world's crude notions instead of following Christ. |
| Colossians 2:9 | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally; | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. | For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete, |

| 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 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: | In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision; |
| 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. | 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. | having been buried with Him in your baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith produced within you by God who raised Him from among the dead. |
| Colossians 2:13 | And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences: | And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; | And to you dead as you once were in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your natural state He has nevertheless given Life with Himself, having forgiven us all our transgressions. |
| 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: | 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; | The bond, with its requirements, which was in force against us and was hostile to us, He cancelled, and cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross. |
| Colossians 2:15 | And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. | And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. | And the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests, when by the Cross He triumphed over them. |

| Colossians 2:17 | Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. | Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. | These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. |
| 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 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, | Let no one defraud you of your prize, priding himself on his humility and on his worship of the angels, and taking his stand on the visions he has seen, and idly puffed up with his unspiritual thoughts. |
| 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 holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. | Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine 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? | 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, | If you have died with Christ and have escaped from the world's rudimentary notions, why, as though your life still belonged to the world, do you submit to such precepts as |
| Colossians 2:21 | Touch not, taste not, handle not: | (Touch not; taste not; handle not; | "Do not handle this;" "Do not taste that;" "Do not touch that other thing" |
| Colossians 2:22 | Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men. | Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? | referring to things which are all intended to be used up and perish in obedience to mere human injunctions and teachings? |
| 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. | Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. | These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures. |
