Colossians 2:1-10 ▼

1 For I woulde that ye knew what great fight I haue for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and for as many as haue not seene my face in the fleshe,

2 That their heartes myght be comforted, beyng knyt together in loue, and in al riches of certaintie of vnderstanding, to knowe the misterie of God, and of the father, and of Christe,

3 In whom are hyd all the treasures of wisdome and knowledge.

4 This I say, lest any man shoulde begyle you with perswasion of wordes.

5 For though I be absent in the fleshe, yet am I with you in the spirite, ioying and beholdyng your order, and your stedfast fayth in Christe.

6 As ye haue therfore receaued Christe Iesus the Lorde, so walke ye in hym:

7 Rooted and built in hym, & stablished in the fayth, as ye haue ben taught, aboundyng therin with thankes geuing.

8 Beware lest any man spoyle you through philosophie & vayne deceipt, after the tradition of men, and after the rudimentes of the worlde, and not after Christe.

9 For in hym dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodyly:

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principalitie and power,
