| 2:1 | 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; |
| 2:2 | 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; |
| 2:3 | In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. |
| 2:4 | And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. |
| 2:5 | 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. |
| 2:6 | As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: |
| 2:7 | Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. |
| 2:8 | 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. |
| 2:8 | 你們要謹慎、恐怕有人用他的理學、和虛空的妄言、不照著基督、乃照人間的遺傳、和世上的小學、就把你們擄去． |
| 2:8 | 你们要谨慎，恐怕有人用他的理学，和虚空的妄言，不照着基督，乃照人间的遗传，和世上的小学，就把你们掳去。 |
| eph:5:6 | Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. |
| 1ti:6:20 | O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: |
| mat:15:2 | Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. |
| gal:1:14 | And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. |
| gal:4:3 | Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: |
| gal:4:9 | But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? |
| col:2:20 | 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, |
| hos:5:11 | Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. |
| isa:29:13 | Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: |
| mat:15:9 | But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. |
| mak:7:8 | For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. |

| 2:9 | For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. |
| 2:10 | And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: |
| 2:11 | 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: |
| 2:12 | 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. |
| 2:13 | And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; |
| 2:14 | 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; |
| 2:15 | And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. |
| 2:16 | 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: |
| 2:17 | Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. |
| 2:18 | 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, |
| 2:19 | 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. |
| 2:20 | 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, |
| 2:21 | (Touch not; taste not; handle not; |
| 2:22 | Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? |
| 2:23 | 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. |
