002:013 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision
of your flesh. He made you alive together with him,
having forgiven us all our trespasses,
002:014 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us;
and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
002:015 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made
a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
002:016 Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking,
or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
002:017 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
002:018 Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and
worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has
not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
002:019 and 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.
002:020 If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though
living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
002:021 "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch"
002:022 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts
and doctrines of men?
002:023 Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship,
and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value
against the indulgence of the flesh.
003:001 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things
that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
003:002 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things
that are on the earth.
003:003 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
003:004 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be
revealed with him in glory.
003:005 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth:
sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire,
and covetousness, which is idolatry;
003:006 for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the
children of disobedience.
003:007 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
003:008 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander,
and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
003:009 Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old
man with his doings,
003:010 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge
after the image of his Creator,
003:011 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all,
and in all.
003:012 Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart
of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
003:013 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man
