Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,
1θελω γαρ υμασ ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι
2that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,
2ινα παρακληθωσιν αι καρδιαι αυτων συμβιβασθεντων εν αγαπη και εισ παντα πλουτον τησ πληροφοριασ τησ συνεσεωσ εισ επιγνωσιν του μυστηριου του θεου και πατροσ και του χριστου
3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
3εν ω εισιν παντεσ οι θησαυροι τησ σοφιασ και τησ γνωσεωσ αποκρυφοι
4I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.
4τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τισ υμασ παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια
5For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.
5ει γαρ και τη σαρκι απειμι αλλα τω πνευματι συν υμιν ειμι χαιρων και βλεπων υμων την ταξιν και το στερεωμα τησ εισ χριστον πιστεωσ υμων
6Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,
6ωσ ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον εν αυτω περιπατειτε
7rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
7ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθωσ εδιδαχθητε περισσευοντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
8See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.
8βλεπετε μη τισ υμασ εσται ο συλαγωγων δια τησ φιλοσοφιασ και κενησ απατησ κατα την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων κατα τα στοιχεια του κοσμου και ου κατα χριστον
9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.
9οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα τησ θεοτητοσ σωματικωσ
10And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
10και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι οσ εστιν η κεφαλη πασησ αρχησ και εξουσιασ
11In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands.
11εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματοσ των αμαρτιων τησ σαρκοσ εν τη περιτομη του χριστου
12And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
12συνταφεντεσ αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια τησ πιστεωσ τησ ενεργειασ του θεου του εγειραντοσ αυτον εκ των νεκρων
13When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses,
13και υμασ νεκρουσ οντασ εν τοισ παραπτωμασιν και τη ακροβυστια τησ σαρκοσ υμων συνεζωοποιησεν υμασ συν αυτω χαρισαμενοσ ημιν παντα τα παραπτωματα
14having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!
14εξαλειψασ το καθ ημων χειρογραφον τοισ δογμασιν ο ην υπεναντιον ημιν και αυτο ηρκεν εκ του μεσου προσηλωσασ αυτο τω σταυρω
15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
15απεκδυσαμενοσ τασ αρχασ και τασ εξουσιασ εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια θριαμβευσασ αυτουσ εν αυτω
16Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.
16μη ουν τισ υμασ κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτησ η νουμηνιασ η σαββατων
17These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
17α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων το δε σωμα χριστου
18Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
18μηδεισ υμασ καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων εικη φυσιουμενοσ υπο του νοοσ τησ σαρκοσ αυτου
19He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.
19και ου κρατων την κεφαλην εξ ου παν το σωμα δια των αφων και συνδεσμων επιχορηγουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον αυξει την αυξησιν του θεου
20If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
20ει απεθανετε συν χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου τι ωσ ζωντεσ εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε
21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
21μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγησ
22These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
22α εστιν παντα εισ φθοραν τη αποχρησει κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιασ των ανθρωπων
23Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
23ατινα εστιν λογον μεν εχοντα σοφιασ εν εθελοθρησκεια και ταπεινοφροσυνη και αφειδια σωματοσ ουκ εν τιμη τινι προσ πλησμονην τησ σαρκοσ
