| Colossians 2:1 | 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, | 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 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; |
| Colossians 2:2 | 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. | 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; | 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, |
| Colossians 2:3 | In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view. | In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. | In whom are all the secret stores of wisdom and knowledge. |
| Colossians 2:4 | I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry. | And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. | I say this so that you may not be turned away by any deceit of words. |
| Colossians 2:5 | 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. | 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 though I am not present in the flesh, still I am with you in the spirit, seeing with joy your order, and your unchanging faith in Christ. |
| Colossians 2:6 | As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him; | As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: | As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him, |
| Colossians 2:7 | 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. | Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. | Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times. |
| Colossians 2:8 | 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. | 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 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: |
| Colossians 2:9 | For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete, | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. | For in him all the wealth of God's being has a living form, |
| Colossians 2:10 | and He is the Lord of all princes and rulers. | And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: | And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority: |
| Colossians 2:11 | In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not performed by hand, when you threw off your sinful nature in true Christian circumcision; | 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 whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; |
| Colossians 2:12 | 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. | 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 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. |
| Colossians 2:13 | 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. | 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 you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins; |
| Colossians 2:14 | 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. | 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; | 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; |
| Colossians 2:15 | 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. | And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. | Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it. |
| Colossians 2:16 | Therefore suffer no one to sit in judgement on you as to eating or drinking or with regard to a festival, a new moon or a sabbath. | 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: | For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths: |
| Colossians 2:17 | These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. | 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. |
| Colossians 2:18 | 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. | 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 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, |
| Colossians 2:19 | 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. | 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. | 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. |
| Colossians 2:20 | 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 | 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 were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders |
| Colossians 2:21 | "Do not handle this;" "Do not taste that;" "Do not touch that other thing" | (Touch not; taste not; handle not; | Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands, |
| Colossians 2:22 | referring to things which are all intended to be used up and perish in obedience to mere human injunctions and teachings? | Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? | (Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men? |
| Colossians 2:23 | 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. | 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 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. |
