 : 18  And he is the head <2776 - kephale - > of the body <4983 - soma - > ,  the church <1577 - ekklesia - > :  who <3739 - hos - > is the beginning <0746 - arche - > ,  the firstborn <4416 - prototokos - > from the dead <3498 - nekros - > ;  that in all <3956 - pas - >  [ things ]  he might have the preeminence <4409 - proteuo - > .

 : 19  For it pleased <2106 - eudokeo - >  [ the Father ]  that in him should all <3956 - pas - > fulness <4138 - pleroma - > dwell <2730 - katoikeo - > ;

 : 20  And ,  having made <1517 - eirenopoieo - > peace <1517 - eirenopoieo - > through <1223 - dia - > the blood <0129 - haima - > of his cross <4716 - stauros - > ,  by him to reconcile <0604 - apokatallasso - > all <3956 - pas - > things unto himself <0848 - hautou - > ;  by him ,   [ I say ]  ,  whether <1535 - eite - >  [ they be ]  things in earth <1093 - ge - > ,  or <1535 - eite - > things in heaven <3772 - ouranos - > .

 : 29  Whereunto <3739 - hos - > I also <2532 - kai - > labour <2872 - kopiao - > ,  striving <0075 - agonizomai - > according <2596 - kata - > to his working <1753 - energeia - > ,  which <3588 - ho - > worketh <1754 - energeo - > in me mightily <1411 - dunamis - > .

 : Colossians   2

 : 1 .  For I would <2309 - thelo - > that ye knew <1492 - eido - > what <2245 - helikos - > great <2245 - helikos - > conflict <0073 - agon - > I have <2192 - echo - > for you ,  and  [ for ]  them at <1722 - en - > Laodicea <2993 - Laodikeia - > ,  and  [ for ]  as many <3745 - hosos - > as have not seen <3708 - horao - > my face <4383 - prosopon - > in the flesh <4561 - sarx - > ;

 : 2  That their hearts <2588 - kardia - > might be comforted <3870 - parakaleo - > ,  being knit <4822 - sumbibazo - > together <4822 - sumbibazo - > in love <0026 - agape - > ,  and unto all <3956 - pas - > riches <4149 - ploutos - > of the full <4136 - plerophoria - > assurance <4136 - plerophoria - > of understanding <4907 - sunesis - > ,  to the acknowledgement <1922 - epignosis - > of the mystery <3466 - musterion - > of God <2316 - theos - > ,  and of the Father <3962 - pater - > ,  and of Christ <5547 - Christos - > ;

 : 3  In whom <3739 - hos - > are hid <0614 - apokruphos - > all <3956 - pas - > the treasures <2344 - thesauros - > of wisdom <4678 - sophia - > and knowledge <1108 - gnosis - > .

 : 4 .  And this <5124 - touto - > I say <3004 - lego - > ,  lest <3361 - me - > any <3387 - metis - > man should beguile <3884 - paralogizomai - > you with enticing <4086 - pithanologia - > words <4086 - pithanologia - > .

 : 5  For though <1499 - ei kai - > I be absent <0548 - apeimi - > in the flesh <4561 - sarx - > ,  yet <0235 - alla - > am <1510 - eimi - > I with you in the spirit <4151 - pneuma - > ,  joying <5463 - chairo - > and beholding <0991 - blepo - > your <5216 - humon - > order <5010 - taxis - > ,  and the stedfastness <4733 - stereoma - > of your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > in Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

 : 6  As ye have therefore <3767 - oun - > received <3880 - paralambano - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > the Lord <2962 - kurios - > ,   [ so ]  walk <4043 - peripateo - > ye in him :

 : 7  Rooted <4492 - rhizoo - > and built <2026 - epoikodomeo - > up in him ,  and stablished <0950 - bebaioo - > in the faith <4102 - pistis - > ,  as ye have been taught <1321 - didasko - > ,  abounding <4052 - perisseuo - > therein <0846 - autos - > with thanksgiving <2169 - eucharistia - > .

 : 8  Beware <0991 - blepo - > lest <3361 - me - > any <3387 - metis - > man spoil <4812 - sulagogeo - > you through <1223 - dia - > philosophy <5385 - philosophia - > and vain <2756 - kenos - > deceit <0539 - apate - > ,  after <2596 - kata - > the tradition <3862 - paradosis - > of men <0444 - anthropos - > ,  after <2596 - kata - > the rudiments <4747 - stoicheion - > of the world <2889 - kosmos - > ,  and not after <2596 - kata - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

 : 9  For in him dwelleth <2730 - katoikeo - > all <3956 - pas - > the fulness <4138 - pleroma - > of the Godhead <2320 - theotes - > bodily <4985 - somatikos - > .

 : 10  And ye are complete <4137 - pleroo - > in him ,  which <3739 - hos - > is the head <2776 - kephale - > of all <3956 - pas - > principality <0746 - arche - > and power <1849 - exousia - > :

 : 11  In whom <3739 - hos - > also <2532 - kai - > ye are circumcised <4059 - peritemno - > with the circumcision <4061 - peritome - > made <1096 - ginomai - > without <0886 - acheiropoietos - > hands <0886 - acheiropoietos - > ,  in putting <0555 - apekdusis - > off <0554 - apekduomai - > the body <4983 - soma - > of the sins <0266 - hamartia - > of the flesh <4561 - sarx - > by the circumcision <4061 - peritome - > of Christ <5547 - Christos - > :

 : 12  Buried <4916 - sunthapto - > with him in baptism <0908 - baptisma - > ,  wherein <3757 - hou - > also <2532 - kai - > ye are risen <4891 - sunegeiro - > with  [ him ]  through <1223 - dia - > the faith <4102 - pistis - > of the operation <1753 - energeia - > of God <2316 - theos - > ,  who <3588 - ho - > hath raised <1453 - egeiro - > him from the dead <3498 - nekros - > .

 : 13 .  And you ,  being <5607 - on - > dead <3498 - nekros - > in your <5216 - humon - > sins <3900 - paraptoma - > and the uncircumcision <0203 - akrobustia - > of your <5216 - humon - > flesh <4561 - sarx - > ,  hath he quickened <4806 - suzoopoieo - > together <4806 - suzoopoieo - > with him ,  having forgiven <5483 - charizomai - > you all <3956 - pas - > trespasses <3900 - paraptoma - > ;

 : 14  Blotting <1813 - exaleipho - > out the handwriting <5498 - cheirographon - > of ordinances <1378 - dogma - > that was against <2596 - kata - > us ,  which <3739 - hos - > was contrary <5227 - hupenantios - > to us ,  and took <0142 - airo - > it out of the way <3319 - mesos - > ,  nailing <4338 - proseloo - > it to his cross <4716 - stauros - > ;

 : 15   [ And ]  having spoiled <0554 - apekduomai - > principalities <0746 - arche - > and powers <1849 - exousia - > ,  he made <1165 - deigmatizo - > a shew <1165 - deigmatizo - > of them openly <3954 - parrhesia - > ,  triumphing <2358 - thriambeuo - > over them in it .

 : 16 .  Let no <3361 - me - > man <5100 - tis - > therefore <3767 - oun - > judge <2919 - krino - > you in meat <1035 - brosis - > ,  or <2228 - e - > in drink <4213 - posis - > ,  or <2228 - e - > in respect <3313 - meros - > of an holyday <1859 - heorte - > ,  or <2228 - e - > of the new <3561 - noumenia - > moon <3561 - noumenia - > ,  or <2228 - e - > of the sabbath <4521 - sabbaton - >  [ days ]  :

 : 17  Which <3739 - hos - > are a shadow <4639 - skia - > of things to come <3195 - mello - > ;  but the body <4983 - soma - >  [ is ]  of Christ <5547 - Christos - > .

 : 18  Let no <3367 - medeis - > man <3367 - medeis - > beguile <2603 - katabrabeuo - > you of your reward <2603 - katabrabeuo - > in a voluntary <2309 - thelo - > humility <5012 - tapeinophrosune - > and worshipping <2356 - threskeia - > of angels <0032 - aggelos - > ,  intruding <1687 - embateuo - > into those things which <3739 - hos - > he hath not seen <3708 - horao - > ,  vainly <1500 - eike - > puffed <5448 - phusioo - > up by his fleshly mind <3563 - nous - > ,

 : Colossians   3

 : 1 .  If <1487 - ei - > ye then <3767 - oun - > be risen <4891 - sunegeiro - > with Christ <5547 - Christos - > ,  seek <2212 - zeteo - > those <3588 - ho - > things which are above <0507 - ano - > ,  where <3757 - hou - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > sitteth <2521 - kathemai - > on <1722 - en - > the right <1188 - dexios - > hand of God <2316 - theos - > .

 : 2  Set <5426 - phroneo - > your affection <5426 - phroneo - > on things above <0507 - ano - > ,  not on things on <1909 - epi - > the earth <1093 - ge - > .
