Coloseni 2
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
2 Vreau, în adevăr, să ştiţi cât de mare luptă(A) duc pentru voi, pentru cei din Laodiceea şi pentru toţi cei ce nu mi-au văzut faţa în trup; 2 pentru ca(B) să li se îmbărbăteze inimile, să fie uniţi(C) în dragoste şi să capete toate bogăţiile plinătăţii de pricepere, ca să cunoască(D) taina lui Dumnezeu Tatăl, adică pe Hristos, 3 în(E) care sunt ascunse toate comorile înţelepciunii şi ale ştiinţei. 4 Spun lucrul acesta pentru ca(F) nimeni să nu vă înşele prin vorbiri amăgitoare. 5 Căci măcar că(G) sunt departe cu trupul, totuşi cu duhul sunt cu voi şi privesc cu bucurie la buna rânduială(H) care domneşte între voi şi la tăria(I) credinţei voastre în Hristos. 6 Astfel dar, după cum(J) aţi primit pe Hristos Isus, Domnul, aşa să şi umblaţi în El, 7 fiind înrădăcinaţi şi zidiţi în El, întăriţi prin credinţă, după învăţăturile care v-au fost date, şi sporind în ea cu mulţumiri către Dumnezeu. 8 Luaţi seama(K) ca nimeni să nu vă fure cu filozofia şi cu o amăgire deşartă după datina(L) oamenilor, după învăţăturile începătoare ale lumii(M), şi nu după Hristos. 9 Căci în El(N) locuieşte trupeşte toată plinătatea Dumnezeirii. 10 Voi aveţi totul deplin(O) în El, care(P) este Capul oricărei domnii(Q) şi stăpâniri. 11 În El aţi fost tăiaţi împrejur(R) nu cu o tăiere împrejur făcută de mână, ci cu tăierea împrejur a lui Hristos, în dezbrăcarea(S) de trupul poftelor firii noastre pământeşti, 12 fiind îngropaţi(T) împreună cu El prin botez şi înviaţi(U) în El şi împreună cu El prin credinţa(V) în puterea lui Dumnezeu, care(W) L-a înviat din morţi. 13 Pe voi(X), care eraţi morţi în greşelile voastre şi în firea voastră pământească netăiată împrejur, Dumnezeu v-a adus la viaţă împreună cu El, după ce ne-a iertat toate greşelile. 14 A şters(Y) zapisul cu poruncile lui, care stătea împotriva noastră şi ne era potrivnic, şi l-a nimicit pironindu-l pe cruce. 15 A dezbrăcat(Z) domniile şi stăpânirile(AA) şi le-a făcut de ocară înaintea lumii, după ce a ieşit biruitor asupra lor prin cruce. 16 Nimeni dar să(AB) nu vă judece cu privire la mâncare(AC) sau băutură, cu(AD) privire la o zi de sărbătoare, cu privire la o lună nouă sau cu privire la o zi de Sabat, 17 care(AE) sunt umbra lucrurilor viitoare, dar trupul este al lui Hristos. 18 Nimeni(AF) să nu vă răpească premiul alergării, făcându-şi voia lui însuşi printr-o smerenie şi închinare la îngeri, amestecându-se în(AG) lucruri pe care nu le-a văzut, umflat de o mândrie deşartă, prin gândurile firii lui pământeşti, 19 şi nu se ţine strâns de Capul(AH) din care tot trupul, hrănit şi bine închegat, cu ajutorul încheieturilor şi legăturilor, îşi primeşte creşterea pe care i-o dă Dumnezeu. 20 Dacă aţi murit(AI) împreună cu Hristos faţă de învăţăturile începătoare(AJ) ale lumii, de ce, ca şi cum aţi trăi încă în lume, vă supuneţi la porunci ca acestea: 21 „Nu(AK) lua, nu gusta, nu(AL) atinge cutare lucru!” 22 Toate aceste lucruri, care pier odată cu întrebuinţarea lor şi sunt întemeiate pe(AM) porunci şi învăţături omeneşti, 23 au(AN), în adevăr, o înfăţişare de înţelepciune într-o închinare(AO) voită, o smerenie şi asprime faţă de trup, dar nu sunt de niciun preţ împotriva gâdilării firii pământeşti.
Colossians 2
New International Version
2 I want you to know how hard I am contending(A) for you and for those at Laodicea,(B) and for all who have not met me personally. 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart(C) and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery(D) of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.(E) 4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.(F) 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit(G) and delight to see how disciplined(H) you are and how firm(I) your faith in Christ(J) is.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,(K) continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted(L) and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,(M) and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(N) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(O) rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness(P) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(Q) over every power and authority.(R) 11 In him you were also circumcised(S) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b](T) was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(U) in which you were also raised with him(V) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(W)
13 When you were dead in your sins(X) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive(Y) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(Z) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(AA) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(AB) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(AC) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(AD) by the cross.[e]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you(AE) by what you eat or drink,(AF) or with regard to a religious festival,(AG) a New Moon celebration(AH) or a Sabbath day.(AI) 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come;(AJ) the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility(AK) and the worship of angels disqualify you.(AL) Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head,(AM) from whom the whole body,(AN) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.(AO)
20 Since you died with Christ(AP) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,(AQ) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:(AR) 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(AS) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(AT) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(AU) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

King James Version
2 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
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;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
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.
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
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.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
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:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
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;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
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:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
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,
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.
20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 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.
