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;

Θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι ἡλίκον ἀγῶνα ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ καὶ ὅσοι οὐχ ἑωράκασι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐν σαρκί,

[Заⷱ҇ 253] Хощꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ ва́съ вѣ́дѣти, коли́къ по́двигъ и҆́мамъ ѡ҆ ва́съ и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋ́щихъ въ лаодїкі́и и҆ во і҆ерапо́ли, и҆ є҆ли́цы не ви́дѣша лица̀ моегѡ̀ во пло́ти,

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;

ἵνα παρακληθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, συμβιβασθέντων ἐν ἀγάπῃ καὶ εἰς πάντα πλοῦτον τῆς πληροφορίας τῆς συνέσεως, εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

да ᲂу҆тѣ́шатсѧ сердца̀ и҆́хъ, сне́мшихсѧ въ любвѝ и҆ во всѧ́цѣмъ бога́тствѣ и҆звѣще́нїѧ ра́зꙋма, въ позна́нїе та́йны бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ хрⷭ҇та̀,

3

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

ἐν ᾧ εἰσι πάντες οἱ θησαυροὶ τῆς σοφίας καὶ τῆς γνώσεως ἀπόκρυφοι.

въ не́мже сꙋ́ть всѧ̑ сокрѡ́вища премⷣрости и҆ ра́зꙋма сокровє́нна.

4

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

Τοῦτο δὲ λέγω ἵνα μή τις ὑμᾶς παραλογίζηται ἐν πιθανολογίᾳ·

Сїе́ же глаго́лю, да никто́же ва́съ прельсти́тъ въ словопрѣ́нїи:

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.

εἰ γὰρ καὶ τῇ σαρκὶ ἄπειμι, ἀλλὰ τῷ πνεύματι σὺν ὑμῖν εἰμι, χαίρων καὶ βλέπων ὑμῶν τὴν τάξιν καὶ τὸ στερέωμα τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν πίστεως ὑμῶν.

а҆́ще бо и҆ пло́тїю ѿстою̀, но дꙋ́хомъ съ ва́ми є҆́смь, ра́дꙋѧсѧ и҆ ви́дѧ ва́шъ чи́нъ и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе ва́шеѧ вѣ́ры, ꙗ҆́же во хрⷭ҇та̀.

6

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

ὡς οὖν παρελάβετε τὸν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν Κύριον, ἐν αὐτῷ περιπατεῖτε,

Ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆̀бо прїѧ́сте хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са гдⷭ҇а, (та́кожде) въ не́мъ ходи́те,

7

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ ἐποικοδομούμενοι ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ βεβαιούμενοι ἐν τῇ πίστει καθὼς ἐδιδάχθητε, περισσεύοντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ.

ᲂу҆корене́ни и҆ назда́ни въ не́мъ и҆ и҆звѣ́ствовани вѣ́рою, ꙗ҆́коже наꙋчи́стесѧ, и҆збы́точествꙋюще въ не́й благодаре́нїемъ.

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.

Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς ἔσται ὁ συλαγωγῶν διὰ τῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ κενῆς ἀπάτης, κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, κατὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου καὶ οὐ κατὰ Χριστόν·

[Заⷱ҇ 254] (Бра́тїе,) блюди́тесѧ, да никто́же ва́съ бꙋ́детъ прельща́ѧ фїлосо́фїею и҆ тще́тною ле́стїю, по преда́нїю человѣ́ческомꙋ, по стїхі́амъ мі́ра, а҆ не по хрⷭ҇тѣ̀:

9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ κατοικεῖ πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τῆς θεότητος σωματικῶς,

ꙗ҆́кѡ въ то́мъ живе́тъ всѧ́ко и҆сполне́нїе бжⷭ҇тва̀ тѣле́снѣ:

10

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

καὶ ἐστὲ ἐν αὐτῷ πεπληρωμένοι, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας,

и҆ да бꙋ́дете въ не́мъ и҆спо́лнени, и҆́же є҆́сть глава̀ всѧ́комꙋ нача́лꙋ и҆ вла́сти:

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:

ἐν ᾧ καὶ περιετμήθητε περιτομῇ ἀχειροποιήτῳ ἐν τῇ ἀπεκδύσει τοῦ σώματος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τῆς σαρκός, ἐν τῇ περιτομῇ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

ѡ҆ не́мже и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́зани бы́сте ѡ҆брѣ́занїемъ нерꙋкотворе́ннымъ, въ совлече́нїи тѣ́ла грѣхо́внагѡ пло́ти, во ѡ҆брѣ́занїи хрⷭ҇то́вѣ,

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.

συνταφέντες αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ βαπτίσματι, ἐν ᾧ καὶ συνηγέρθητε διὰ τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐνεργείας τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐγείραντος αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν.

спогре́бшесѧ є҆мꙋ̀ кр҃ще́нїемъ: ѡ҆ не́мже и҆ совоста́сте вѣ́рою дѣ́йствїѧ бг҃а, воскреси́вшагѡ є҆го̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ:

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;

καὶ ὑμᾶς, νεκροὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασι καὶ τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν, συνεζωοποίησεν ὑμᾶς σὺν αὐτῷ, χαρισάμενος ἡμῖν πάντα τὰ παραπτώματα,

[Заⷱ҇ 255.] и҆ ва́съ, ме́ртвыхъ сꙋ́щихъ въ прегрѣше́нїихъ и҆ въ неѡбрѣ́занїи пло́ти ва́шеѧ, соѡживи́лъ є҆́сть съ ни́мъ, дарова́въ на́мъ всѧ̑ прегрѣшє́нїѧ,

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;

ἐξαλείψας τὸ καθ’ ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δόγμασιν ὃ ἦν ὑπεναντίον ἡμῖν, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦρεν ἐκ τοῦ μέσου προσηλώσας αὐτὸ τῷ σταυρῷ·

и҆стреби́въ є҆́же на на́съ рꙋкописа́нїе ᲂу҆че́ньми, є҆́же бѣ̀ сопроти́вно на́мъ, и҆ то̀ взѧ́тъ ѿ среды̀, пригвозди́въ є҆̀ на крⷭ҇тѣ̀:

15

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

ἀπεκδυσάμενος τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας ἐδειγμάτισεν ἐν παρρησίᾳ, θριαμβεύσας αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐτῷ.

совле́къ нача́ла и҆ вла̑сти, и҆зведѐ въ позо́ръ дерзнове́нїемъ, и҆з̾ѡбличи́въ и҆́хъ въ себѣ̀ {побѣди́въ и҆̀хъ на не́мъ}.

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:

Μὴ οὖν τις ὑμᾶς κρινέτω ἐν βρώσει ἢ ἐν πόσει ἢ ἐν μέρει ἑορτῆς ἢ νουμηνίας ἢ σαββάτων,

Да никто́же ᲂу҆̀бо ва́съ ѡ҆сꙋжда́етъ ѡ҆ ꙗ҆де́нїи, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ питїѝ, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ ча́сти пра́здника, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ новомⷭ҇чїихъ, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ сꙋббѡ́тахъ:

17

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

ἅ ἐστι σκιὰ τῶν μελλόντων, τὸ δὲ σῶμα Χριστοῦ.

ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть стѣ́нь грѧдꙋ́щихъ, тѣ́ло же хрⷭ҇то́во.

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,

μηδεὶς ὑμᾶς καταβραβευέτω θέλων ἐν ταπεινοφροσύνῃ καὶ θρησκείᾳ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἃ μὴ ἑώρακεν ἐμβατεύων, εἰκῆ φυσιούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ νοὸς τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,

Никто́же ва́съ да прельща́етъ и҆зволе́ннымъ є҆мꙋ̀ смиреномꙋ́дрїемъ и҆ слꙋ́жбою а҆́гг҃лѡвъ, ꙗ҆́же не ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣ ᲂу҆чѧ̀ {(въ тѣ́хъ) ходѧ̀}, без̾ ᲂу҆ма̀ {всꙋ́е} дмѧ́сѧ ѿ ᲂу҆ма̀ пло́ти своеѧ̀,

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.

καὶ οὐ κρατῶν τὴν κεφαλήν, ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα διὰ τῶν ἁφῶν καὶ συνδέσμων ἐπιχορηγούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον αὔξει τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

а҆ не держѧ̀ главы̀, и҆з̾ неѧ́же всѐ тѣ́ло, соста̑вы и҆ соꙋ̑зы пода́емо и҆ сне́млемо, расти́тъ возраще́нїе бж҃їе.

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,

Εἰ οὖν ἀπεθάνετε σὺν τῷ Χριστῷ ἀπὸ τῶν στοιχείων τοῦ κόσμου, τί ὡς ζῶντες ἐν κόσμῳ δογματίζεσθε,

[Заⷱ҇ 256] А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆мро́сте со хрⷭ҇то́мъ ѿ стїхі́й мі́ра, почто̀ а҆́ки живꙋ́ще въ мі́рѣ стѧза́етесѧ;

21

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

μὴ ἅψῃ μηδὲ γεύσῃ μηδὲ θίγῃς,

Не косни́сѧ, нижѐ вкꙋсѝ, нижѐ ѡ҆сѧжѝ:

22

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

ἅ ἐστι πάντα εἰς φθορὰν τῇ ἀποχρήσει, κατὰ τὰ ἐντάλματα καὶ διδασκαλίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων;

ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть всѧ̑ во и҆стлѣ́нїе ᲂу҆потребле́нїемъ, по за́повѣдемъ и҆ ᲂу҆че́нїємъ человѣ́чєскимъ:

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.

ἅτινά ἐστι λόγον μὲν ἔχοντα σοφίας ἐν ἐθελοθρησκείᾳ καὶ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ καὶ ἀφειδίᾳ σώματος, οὐκ ἐν τιμῇ τινι πρὸς πλησμονὴν τῆς σαρκός.

ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть сло́во ᲂу҆́бѡ и҆мꙋ̑ща премꙋ́дрости въ самово́льнѣй слꙋ́жбѣ и҆ смиреномꙋ́дрїи и҆ непощадѣ́нїи тѣ́ла, не въ че́сти ко́ей къ сы́тости пло́ти.
