| Colossians 2:1 | For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and 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; | 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 united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the 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, | 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 all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid, | In whom are all the secret stores of wisdom and knowledge. | In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view. |
| Colossians 2:4 | and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing words, | I say this so that you may not be turned away by any deceit of words. | I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry. |
| Colossians 2:5 | for if even in the flesh I am absent yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to 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. | 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, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye, | As, then, you took Christ Jesus the Lord, so go on in him, | As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him; |
| Colossians 2:7 | being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught abounding in it in thanksgiving. | Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times. | 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 | See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments 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: | 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 | because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, | For in him all the wealth of God's being has a living form, | For it is in Christ that the fulness of God's nature dwells embodied, and in Him you are made complete, |
| Colossians 2:10 | and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority, | And you are complete in him, who is the head of all rule and authority: | and He is the Lord of all princes and rulers. |
| Colossians 2:11 | in whom also ye were 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 the 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 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 | being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with [him] through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of 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 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 being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the 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; | 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 | having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed 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; | 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 | having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly having triumphed 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. | 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 2:16 | Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths, | For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths: | 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. |
| Colossians 2:17 | which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body [is] of the Christ; | For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's. | These were a shadow of things that were soon to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. |
| Colossians 2:18 | let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind 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 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 all the body through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together may increase 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. | 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, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as 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 | 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 | thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle | Which say there may be no touching, tasting, or taking in your hands, | "Do not handle this;" "Do not taste that;" "Do not touch that other thing" |
| Colossians 2:22 | which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men, | (Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching 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 are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body not in any honour, unto a 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. | 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. |
