1Sapagka't ibig ko na inyong maalaman kung gaano kalaki ang aking pagpipilit dahil sa inyo, at sa nangasa Laodicea, at sa lahat na hindi nakakita ng mukha ko sa laman; 2Upang mangaaliw ang kanilang mga puso, sa kanilang pagkakalakip sa pagibig, at sa lahat ng mga kayamanan ng lubos na katiwasayan ng pagkaunawa, upang makilala nila ang hiwaga ng Dios, sa makatuwid baga'y si Cristo, 3Na siyang kinatataguan ng lahat ng mga kayamanan ng karunungan at ng kaalaman. 4Ito'y sinasabi ko, upang huwag kayong madaya ng sinoman sa mga pananalitang kaakitakit. 5Sapagka't bagaman sa laman ako'y wala sa harap, gayon ma'y nasa inyo ako sa espiritu, na nagagalak at nakikita ko ang inyong ayos, at ang katibayan ng inyong pananampalataya kay Cristo. 6Kung paano nga na inyong tinanggap si Cristo Jesus na Panginoon, ay magsilakad kayong gayon sa kaniya, 7Na nangauugat at nangatatayo sa kaniya, at matibay sa inyong pananampalataya, gaya ng pagkaturo sa inyo, na sumasagana sa pagpapasalamat. 8Kayo'y magsipagingat, baka sa inyo'y may bumihag sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang pilosopia at walang kabuluhang pagdaraya, ayon sa sali't saling sabi ng mga tao, ayon sa mga pasimulang aral ng sanglibutan, at di ayon kay Cristo: 9Sapagka't sa kaniya'y nananahan ang buong kapuspusan ng pagka Dios sa kahayagan ayon sa laman, 10At sa kaniya kayo'y napuspus na siyang pangulo ng lahat na pamunuan at kapangyarihan: 11Na sa kaniya ay tinuli rin naman kayo ng pagtutuling hindi gawa ng mga kamay, sa pagkahubad ng katawang laman, sa pagtutuli ni Cristo; 12Na nangalibing na kalakip niya sa bautismo, na kayo nama'y muling binuhay na kalakip niya, sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya sa pagawa ng Dios, na muling bumangon sa kaniya sa mga patay. 13At nang kayo'y mga patay dahil sa inyong mga kasalanan, at sa di pagtutuli ng inyong laman ay kaniyang binuhay kayo na kalakip niya, na ipinatawad sa atin ang ating lahat na mga kasalanan: 14Na pinawi ang usapang nasusulat sa mga palatuntunan laban sa atin, na hindi naayon sa atin: at ito'y kaniyang inalis, na ipinako sa krus; 15Pagkasamsam sa mga pamunuan at sa mga kapangyarihan sila'y mga inilagay niya sa hayag na kahihiyan, na nagtatagumpay siya sa kanila sa bagay na ito. 16Sinoman nga ay huwag humatol sa inyo tungkol sa pagkain, o sa paginom, o tungkol sa kapistahan, o bagong buwan o araw ng sabbath: 17Na isang anino ng mga bagay na magsisidating: nguni't ang katawan ay kay Cristo. 18Sinoman ay huwag manakawan ng ganting-pala sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng kusang pagpapakababa at pagsamba sa mga anghel, na nananatili sa mga bagay na kaniyang nakita, na nagpapalalo ng walang kabuluhan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang akalang ukol sa laman, 19At hindi nangangapit sa Ulo, na sa kaniya'y ang buong katawan, na inaalalayan at nakalakip sa pamamagitan ng mga kasukasuan at mga litid, ay lumalago ng paglagong mula sa Dios. 20Kung kayo'y nangamatay na kalakip ni Cristo mula sa mga pasimulang aral ng sanglibutan, bakit, na waring kayo'y nangabubuhay pa sa sanglibutan, kayo'y nangapasasakop sa mga palatuntunan, 21Gaya ng: Huwag dumampot, ni huwag lumasap, ni huwag humipo; 22(Ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay mangasisira sa paggamit), ayon sa mga utos at mga aral ng mga tao? 23Ang mga bagay na iya'y katotohanang mayroong anyo ng karunungan sa pagsambang kusa, at sa pagpapakababa, at sa pagpapakahirap sa katawan; nguni't walang anomang kabuluhan laban sa ikalalayaw ng laman.
1For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. 4Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. 5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 6As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him, 7rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving. 8Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily, 10and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power; 11in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; 12having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; 15having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, 17which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s. 18Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19and 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. 20If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, 21“Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch” 22(all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? 23Which 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.
1Want ik wil, dat gij weet, hoe groten strijd ik voor u heb, en voor degenen, die te Laodicea zijn, en zo velen als er mijn aangezicht in het vlees niet hebben gezien; 2Opdat hun harten vertroost mogen worden, en zij samengevoegd zijn in de liefde, en dat tot allen rijkdom der volle verzekerdheid des verstands, tot kennis der verborgenheid van God en den Vader, en van Christus; 3In Denwelken al de schatten der wijsheid en der kennis verborgen zijn. 4En dit zeg ik, opdat niet iemand u misleide met beweegredenen, die een schijn hebben. 5Want hoewel ik met het vlees van u ben, nochtans ben ik met den geest bij u, mij verblijdende en ziende uw ordening, en de vastigheid van uw geloof in Christus. 6Gelijk gij dan Christus Jezus, den Heere, hebt aangenomen, wandelt alzo in Hem; 7Geworteld en opgebouwd in Hem, en bevestigd in het geloof, gelijkerwijs gij geleerd zijt, overvloedig zijnde in hetzelve, met dankzegging. 8Ziet toe, dat niemand u als een roof vervoere door de filosofie, en ijdele verleiding, naar de overlevering der mensen, naar de eerste beginselen der wereld, en niet naar Christus; 9Want in Hem woont al de volheid der Godheid lichamelijk; 10En gij zijt in Hem volmaakt, Die het Hoofd is van alle overheid en macht; 11In Welken gij ook besneden zijt met een besnijdenis, die zonder handen geschiedt, in de uittrekking van het lichaam der zonden des vleses, door de besnijdenis van Christus; 12Zijnde met Hem begraven in den doop, in welken gij ook met Hem opgewekt zijt door het geloof der werking Gods, Die Hem uit de doden opgewekt heeft. 13En Hij heeft u, als gij dood waart in de misdaden, en in de voorhuid uws vleses, mede levend gemaakt met Hem, al uw misdaden u vergevende; 14Uitgewist hebbende het handschrift, dat tegen ons was, in inzettingen bestaande, hetwelk, zeg ik, enigerwijze ons tegen was, en heeft datzelve uit het midden weggenomen, hetzelve aan het kruis genageld hebbende; 15En de overheden en de machten uitgetogen hebbende, heeft Hij die in het openbaar tentoongesteld, en heeft door hetzelve over hen getriomfeerd. 16Dat u dan niemand oordele in spijs of in drank, of in het stuk des feest dags, of der nieuwe maan, of der sabbatten; 17Welke zijn een schaduw der toekomende dingen, maar het lichaam is van Christus. 18Dat dan niemand u overheerse naar zijn wil in nederigheid en dienst der engelen, intredende in hetgeen hij niet gezien heeft, tevergeefs opgeblazen zijnde door het verstand zijns vleses; 19En het Hoofd niet behoudende, uit hetwelk het gehele lichaam, door de samenvoegselen en samenbindingen voorzien en samengevoegd zijnde, opwast met goddelijken wasdom. 20Indien gij dan met Christus de eerste beginselen der wereld zijt afgestorven, wat wordt gij, gelijk of gij in de wereld leefdet, met inzettingen belast? 21Namelijk raak niet, en smaak niet, en roer niet aan. 22Welke dingen alle verderven door het gebruik, ingevoerd naar de geboden en leringen der mensen; 23Dewelke wel hebben een schijn rede van wijsheid in eigenwilligen gods dienst en nederigheid, en in het lichaam niet te sparen, doch zijn niet in enige waarde, maar tot verzadiging van het vlees.
