1 θελω γαρ υμας ειδεναι ηλικον αγωνα εχω περι υμων και των εν λαοδικεια και οσοι ουχ εωρακασιν το προσωπον μου εν σαρκι, 2 ινα παρακληθωσιν αι καρδιαι αυτων, συμβιβασθεντων εν αγαπη και εις παντα πλουτον της πληροφοριας της συνεσεως, εις επιγνωσιν του μυστηριου του θεου και πατρος και του χριστου, 3 εν ω εισιν παντες οι θησαυροι της σοφιας και της γνωσεως αποκρυφοι. 4 τουτο δε λεγω ινα μη τις υμας παραλογιζηται εν πιθανολογια· 5 ει γαρ και τη σαρκι απειμι, αλλα τω πνευματι συν υμιν ειμι, χαιρων και βλεπων υμων την ταξιν και το στερεωμα της εις χριστον πιστεως υμων. 6 ως ουν παρελαβετε τον χριστον ιησουν τον κυριον, εν αυτω περιπατειτε, 7 ερριζωμενοι και εποικοδομουμενοι εν αυτω και βεβαιουμενοι εν τη πιστει καθως εδιδαχθητε, περισσευοντες εν αυτη εν ευχαριστια. 8 βλεπετε μη τις υμας εσται ο συλαγωγων δια της φιλοσοφιας και κενης απατης, κατα την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων, κατα τα στοιχεια του κοσμου και ου κατα χριστον· 9 οτι εν αυτω κατοικει παν το πληρωμα της θεοτητος σωματικως, 10 και εστε εν αυτω πεπληρωμενοι, ος εστιν η κεφαλη πασης αρχης και εξουσιας, 11 εν ω και περιετμηθητε περιτομη αχειροποιητω εν τη απεκδυσει του σωματος των αμαρτιων της σαρκος, εν τη περιτομη του χριστου, 12 συνταφεντες αυτω εν τω βαπτισματι, εν ω και συνηγερθητε δια της πιστεως της ενεργειας του θεου του εγειραντος αυτον εκ των νεκρων. 13 και υμας, νεκρους οντας [εν] τοις παραπτωμασιν και τη ακροβυστια της σαρκος υμων, συνεζωοποιησεν υμας συν αυτω, χαρισαμενος ημιν παντα τα παραπτωματα, 14 εξαλειψας το καθ ημων χειρογραφον τοις δογμασιν ο ην υπεναντιον ημιν, και αυτο ηρεν εκ του μεσου προσηλωσας αυτο τω σταυρω· 15 απεκδυσαμενος τας αρχας και τας εξουσιας εδειγματισεν εν παρρησια, θριαμβευσας αυτους εν αυτω. 16 μη ουν τις υμας κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτης η νουμηνιας η σαββατων, 17 α εστιν σκια των μελλοντων, το δε σωμα χριστου. 18 μηδεις υμας καταβραβευετω θελων εν ταπεινοφροσυνη και θρησκεια των αγγελων, α μη εωρακεν εμβατευων, εικη φυσιουμενος υπο του νοος της σαρκος αυτου, 19 και ου κρατων την κεφαλην, εξ ου παν το σωμα δια των αφων και συνδεσμων επιχορηγουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον αυξει την αυξησιν του θεου. 20 ει ουν απεθανετε συν τω χριστω απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου, τι ως ζωντες εν κοσμω δογματιζεσθε, 21 μη αψη μηδε γευση μηδε θιγης— 22 α εστιν παντα εις φθοραν τη αποχρησει— κατα τα ενταλματα και διδασκαλιας των ανθρωπων; 23 ατινα εστιν λογον μεν εχοντα σοφιας εν εθελοθρησκια και ταπεινοφροσυνη και αφειδια σωματος, ουκ εν τιμη τινι προς πλησμονην της σαρκος.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 2:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Colossians (Homily VI)

    Again, he takes hold on them beforehand with their own testimony, saying, "As therefore ye received." We introduce no strange addition, he saith, neither do ye. "Walk ye in Him," for He is the Way that leadeth to the Father: not in the Angels; this way leadeth not thither.

  2. Quotes verse 2:9 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters III–IV)

    And they state that it was clearly on this account that Paul said, "And He Himself is all things;" and again, "All things are to Him, and of Him are all things;" and further, "In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead;" and yet again, "All things are gathered together by God in Christ." Thus do they interpret these …

  3. Quotes verse 2:8 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book III)

    … Thy Spirit, by Thy good and pious servant: "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: for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." And since at that time (as Thou, O Light of my heart, knowest) the words …

  4. Quotes verse 2:14 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVI)

    For not otherwise than by the cross did He effect this; as Paul likewise said: "And the handwriting which was contrary to us, even it He took out of the way, nailing it to His cross." And his saying too, "He shall baptize you with the Spirit," is that of one who was foretelling the events after the resurrection.

  5. Quotes verse 2:8 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture IV)

    A most precious possession therefore is the knowledge of doctrines: also there is need of a wakeful soul, since there are many that make spoil through philosophy and vain deceit.
