Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
1θελω γαρ υμασ ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι
2that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of 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 all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
3εν ω εισιν παντεσ οι θησαυροι τησ σοφιασ και τησ γνωσεωσ αποκρυφοι
4Now I say this that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
4τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τισ υμασ παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια
5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your 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
6As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him,
6ωσ ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον εν αυτω περιπατειτε
7rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
7ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθωσ εδιδαχθητε περισσευοντεσ εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια
8Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elemental spirits of the world, and not after 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 him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,
9οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα τησ θεοτητοσ σωματικωσ
10and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power.
10και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι οσ εστιν η κεφαλη πασησ αρχησ και εξουσιασ
11In him 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,
11εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματοσ των αμαρτιων τησ σαρκοσ εν τη περιτομη του χριστου
12having 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.
12συνταφεντεσ αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια τησ πιστεωσ τησ ενεργειασ του θεου του εγειραντοσ αυτον εκ των νεκρων
13You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven 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
14wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, 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
15Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
15απεκδυσαμενοσ τασ αρχασ και τασ εξουσιασ εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια θριαμβευσασ αυτουσ εν αυτω
16Let no one therefore judge you in eating or drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
16μη ουν τισ υμασ κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτησ η νουμηνιασ η σαββατων
17which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s.
17α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων το δε σωμα χριστου
18Let no one rob you of your prize by self-abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
18μηδεισ υμασ καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων εικη φυσιουμενοσ υπο του νοοσ τησ σαρκοσ αυτου
19and 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.
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 died with Christ from the elemental spirits of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
20ει απεθανετε συν χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου τι ωσ ζωντεσ εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε
21“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
21μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγησ
22(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
22α εστιν παντα εισ φθοραν τη αποχρησει κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιασ των ανθρωπων
23These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body, but aren’t of any 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
