¹ But I will that ye know, what busyness I have for you, and for them that be at Laodicea, and whichever saw not my face in flesh,

² that their hearts be comforted, and they be taught in charity, into all the riches of the plenty of under-standing, into the knowing of [the] mystery of God, the Father of Jesus Christ,

³ in whom all the treasures of wisdom and of science, [or of cunning], be hid.

⁴ For this thing I say, that no man deceive you in height of words.

⁵ For though I be absent in body, by spirit I am with you, joying and seeing your order and the firmness of your belief that is in Christ.

⁶ Therefore as ye have taken Jesus Christ our Lord, walk ye in him,

⁷ and be ye rooted and builded above in him, and confirmed in the belief, as ye have learned, abounding in him in doing of thankings.

⁸ See ye that no man deceive you by philosophy and vain fallacy, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

⁹ For in him dwelleth body-like all the fullness of the Godhead.

¹⁰ And ye be [ful] filled in him, that is head of all principat and power.

¹¹ In whom also ye be circumcised in circumcision not made with hand, in despoiling [or in nakedness] of the body of flesh, but in circumcision of Christ;

¹² and ye be buried together with him in baptism, in whom also ye have risen again by faith of the working of God, that raised him from death.

¹³ And when ye were dead in your guilts, and in the prepuce of your flesh, he quickened together you with him; forgiving to you all guilts [or all trespasses],

¹⁴ doing away that writing of decree that was against us, that was contrary to us; and he took away that from the middle, pitching it on the cross;

¹⁵ and he spoiled principats and powers, and led out trustily, openly overcoming them in himself.

¹⁶ Therefore no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in part of feast day, or of new moon, or of sabbaths,

¹⁷ which be shadow of things to coming [or to come]; for the body is of Christ.

¹⁸ No man deceive you, willing to teach in meekness, and [the] religion of angels, those things which he hath not seen, walking vainly, swollen [or in-blown] with wit of his flesh,

¹⁹ and not holding the head, of which all the body, by bands and joinings together under-ministered and made, waxeth into [the] increasing of God.

²⁰ For if ye be dead with Christ from the elements of the world, what yet as men living to the world deem ye?

²¹ That ye touch not, neither taste, neither treat with hands those things,

²² which all be into death by that use, after the commandments and teachings of men;

²³ which have a reason of wisdom in vain religion [or in superstition] and meekness, and not to spare the body, not in any honour to the fulfilling of the flesh.
