Colossians 2:8-18

WYC

NIV

8 See ye that no man deceive you by philosophy and vain fallacy, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth body-like all the fullness of the Godhead.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
10 And ye be filled in him [And ye be fulfilled in him], that is head of all principat and power.
10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
11 In whom also ye be circumcised in circumcision not made with hand, in despoiling of the body of flesh [in nakedness of the body of flesh], but in circumcision of Christ;
11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ,
12 and ye be buried together with him in baptism, in whom also ye have risen again by faith of the working of God, that raised him from death. [+together buried with him in baptism, in whom and ye have risen again by faith of the working of God, that raised him from dead.]
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 And when ye were dead in your guilts, and in the prepuce of your flesh, he quickened together you with him; forgiving to you all guilts [all guilts, or trespasses],
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
14 doing away that writing of decree that was against us, that was contrary to us; and he took away that from the middle, pitching it on the cross [pitching it to the cross];
14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.
15 and he spoiled principats and powers, and led out trustily, openly overcoming them in himself.
15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
16 Therefore no man judge you in meat, or in drink, or in part of feast day, or of new moon, or of sabbaths,
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
17 which be shadow of things to coming [which be shadow of things to come]; for the body is of Christ.
17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
18 No man deceive you, willing to teach in meekness, and [the] religion of angels, those things which he hath not seen, walking vainly, swollen with wit of his flesh [in-blown with wit of his flesh],
18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.
