Colossians 2:2 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;

Colossians 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Colossians 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Colossians 2:5 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.

Colossians 2:6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk you in him,

Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:8 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.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Colossians 2:10 And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.

Colossians 2:11 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.

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with him.(words 'him' not in the original, but implied; 'risen with Him' is better translated as 'raised as He was' – that is, as far as God is concerned it's a sure fact of your future).through the faith of the operation of God, who has raised him from the dead..(*)

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcisionof your.(word 'your', not in original).flesh, has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;.(original should read 'And being dead and away {'from God' – implied} because of the state of sin {sin is now defunct.[*]} has he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses.' Note: God is the one responsible for evil that exists.{*}, and God balances the lives of all of us who have all lived 'as best we could' with the three strokes that God engineered against us here from the beginning. It's simply all part of His marvelous plan, though painful for a while:.1Peter 1:6; Romans 5:12,15)

Colossians 2:14 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;

Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.(the cross it's talking about; see previous verse).

Colossians 2:16 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.

Colossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Colossians 2:18 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,

Colossians 2:19 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.

Colossians 2:21-23 Touch not; taste not; handle not;...Which all are to perish with the using, after the commandments and doctrines of men?...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.
