Mga Taga-Colosas 2
2
1Nais kong malaman ninyo kung gaano ako nagsikap para sa inyo, ganoon din sa mga nasa Laodicea at sa lahat ng hindi pa nakakakilala sa akin nang personal. 2Ginagawa ko ito upang palakasin ang loob ninyong lahat at pag-isahin kayo sa pag-ibig. Sa ganoon, malalaman at mauunawaan nʼyo nang lubos ang lihim na plano ng Diyos tungkol kay Kristo. 3Si Kristo ang pinagmumulan ng lahat ng karunungan at kaalaman.
4Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na ito upang hindi kayo malinlang ninuman sa pamamagitan ng magagaling nilang pangangatwiran. 5Kahit hindi ko kayo kapiling, palagi kayong nasa isipan ko. At masaya ako dahil maayos ang pamumuhay nʼyo at matatag ang inyong pananampalataya kay Kristo.
Ang Espirituwal na Kaganapan kay Kristo
6Dahil tinanggap na ninyo na si Kristo Hesus bilang Panginoon, mamuhay kayo nang karapat-dapat sa kanya. 7Patuloy kayong lumago at tumibay sa kanya. Magpakatatag kayo sa pananampalatayang itinuro sa inyo, at maging mapagpasalamat din kayo.
8Maging mapanuri kayo nang hindi kayo madala ng walang kabuluhan at mapanlinlang na pilosopiya. Mga tradisyon lamang ito at mga pamamaraan ng mundo, at hindi mula kay Kristo.
9Sapagkat ang kaganapan ng Diyos ay nananahan kay Kristo, sa katawang lupa niya. 10At naging ganap kayo sa pakikipag-isa nʼyo sa kanya, na siyang pangulo ng lahat ng espiritung namumuno at may kapangyarihan.
11Dahil sa pakikipag-isa nʼyo kay Kristo, tinuli na kayo. Ang pagtutuling ito ay hindi pisikal kundi espirituwal – ang pag-aalis ng masasamang hilig ng laman. Ito ang pagtutuling mula kay Kristo. 12Inilibing kayong kasama ni Kristo nang bautismuhan kayo. At dahil nakay Kristo na kayo, muli kayong binuhay na kasama niya, dahil nananalig kayo sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos na bumuhay sa kanya.
13Noong una, itinuring kayong mga patay dahil sa mga kasalanan ninyo. Subalit ngayon, binuhay kayo ng Diyos kasama ni Kristo. Pinatawad niya ang lahat ng ating kasalanan 14at binura ang listahan ng mga kasalanang dapat nating panagutan. Pinawalang-bisa niya ito at kasama niyang ipinako sa krus. 15Doon din sa krus nilupig ng Diyos ang mga espiritung namumuno at may kapangyarihan, at ipinakita sa lahat na ang mga ito ay bihag na niya.
16Kaya nga, huwag na kayong padadala sa mga tao na nagsasabi sa inyo kung ano ang hindi dapat kainin o inumin, o kung ano ang dapat gawin tuwing kapistahan, Pista ng Pagsisimula ng Buwan, o Araw ng Pamamahinga. 17Anino lamang ang mga ito ng inaasahan noon na darating, at si Kristo ang katuparan nito. 18Huwag kayong padadaya sa mga taong nanghihikayat na kailangan ninyong pagkaitan ang sarili nʼyo at sambahin ang mga anghel. Pinaninindigan nila ang mga ito dahil sa mga pangitain nila na pagyayabang lang, walang kabuluhan, at gawa-gawa lang ng makamundo nilang pag-iisip. 19Wala silang kaugnayan kay Kristo na siyang ulo natin. Siya ang nag-uugnay at nag-aalaga sa atin na kanyang katawan sa pamamagitan ng mga magkakaugnay na bahagi nito. Sa ganoon, lumalago tayo nang naaayon sa Diyos.
20Namatay kayong kasama ni Kristo, at pinalaya sa mga walang kabuluhang pamamaraan ng mundo, ngunit bakit makamundo pa rin ang inyong pamumuhay? Bakit sumusunod pa rin kayo sa mga tuntuning tulad ng, 21“Huwag hahawak nito! Huwag titikim niyon! Huwag hihipo niyan!”? 22Ang mga itoʼy batay lang sa utos at turo ng tao tungkol sa mga bagay na nawawala pagkatapos kainin o inumin. 23Sa unang tingin, wariʼy may karunungan ang mga ganitong katuruan tungkol sa gusto nilang pagsamba, pagpapakumbaba, at pagpapahirap sa sariling katawan. Subalit ang totoo, wala namang naitutulong ang mga ito sa pagpipigil sa masasamang hilig ng laman.

Colossians 2
2
1 FOR I want you to know how great is my solicitude for you [how severe an inward struggle I am engaged in for you] and for those [believers] at Laodicea, and for all who [like yourselves] have never seen my face and known me personally.
2 [For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One).
3 In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.
4 I say this in order that no one may mislead and delude you by plausible and persuasive and attractive arguments and beguiling speech.
5 For though I am away from you in body, yet I am with you in spirit, delighted at the sight of your [standing shoulder to shoulder in such] orderly array and the firmness and the solid front and steadfastness of your faith in Christ [that leaning of the entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness].
6 As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him.
7 Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.
8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).
9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature].
10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
11 In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but in a [spiritual] circumcision [performed by] Christ by stripping off the body of the flesh (the whole corrupt, carnal nature with its passions and lusts).
12 [Thus you were circumcised when] you were buried with Him in [your] baptism, in which you were also raised with Him [to a new life] through [your] faith in the working of God [as displayed] when He raised Him up from the dead.
13 And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions,
14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
15 [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
16 Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath.
17 Such [things] are only the shadow of things that are to come, and they have only a symbolic value. But the reality (the substance, the solid fact of what is foreshadowed, the body of it) belongs to Christ.
18 Let no one defraud you by acting as an umpire and declaring you unworthy and disqualifying you for the prize, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen, vainly puffed up by his sensuous notions and inflated by his unspiritual thoughts and fleshly conceit,
19 And not holding fast to the Head, from Whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by means of its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 If then you have died with Christ to material ways of looking at things and have escaped from the world's crude and elemental notions and teachings of externalism, why do you live as if you still belong to the world? [Why do you submit to rules and regulations?–such as]
21 Do not handle [this], Do not taste [that], Do not even touch [them],
22 Referring to things all of which perish with being used. To do this is to follow human precepts and doctrines. [Isa. 29:13.]
23 Such [practices] have indeed the outward appearance [that popularly passes] for wisdom, in promoting self-imposed rigor of devotion and delight in self-humiliation and severity of discipline of the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh (the lower nature). [Instead, they do not honor God but serve only to indulge the flesh.]
