VUL Clementine Vulgate
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Volo enim vos scire qualem sollicitudinem habeam pro vobis, et pro iis qui sunt Laodiciæ, et quicumque non viderunt faciem meam in carne:
1 PORQUE quiero que sepáis cuán gran solicitud tengo por vosotros, y por los [que están] en Laodicea, y por todos los que nunca vieron mi rostro en carne;
2 ut consolentur corda ipsorum, instructi in caritate, et in omnes divitias plenitudinis intellectus, in agnitionem mysterii Dei Patris et Christi Jesu:
2 Para que sean confortados sus corazones, unidos en amor, y en todas riquezas de cumplido entendimiento para conocer el misterio de Dios, y del Padre, y de Cristo;
3 in quo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiæ et scientiæ absconditi.
3 En el cual están escondidos todos los tesoros de sabiduría y conocimiento.
4 Hoc autem dico, ut nemo vos decipiat in sublimitate sermonum.
4 Y esto digo, para que nadie os engañe con palabras persuasivas.
5 Nam etsi corpore absens sum, sed spiritu vobiscum sum: gaudens, et videns ordinem vestrum, et firmamentum ejus, quæ in Christo est, fidei vestræ.
5 Porque aunque estoy ausente con el cuerpo, no obstante con el espíritu estoy con vosotros, gozándome y mirando vuestro concierto, y la firmeza de vuestra fe en Cristo.
6 Sicut ergo accepistis Jesum Christum Dominum, in ipso ambulate,
6 Por tanto, de la manera que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo, andad en él:
7 radicati, et superædificati in ipso, et confirmati fide, sicut et didicistis, abundantes in illo in gratiarum actione.
7 Arraigados y sobreedificados en él, y confirmados en la fe, así como habéis aprendido, creciendo en ella con hacimiento de gracias.
8 Videte ne quis vos decipiat per philosophiam, et inanem fallaciam secundum traditionem hominum, secundum elementa mundi, et non secundum Christum:
8 Mirad que ninguno os engañe por filosofías y vanas sutilezas, según las tradiciones de los hombres, conforme á los elementos del mundo, y no según Cristo:
9 quia in ipso inhabitat omnis plenitudo divinitatis corporaliter:
9 Porque en él habita toda la plenitud de la divinidad corporalmente:
10 et estis in illo repleti, qui est caput omnis principatus et potestatis:
10 Y en él estáis cumplidos, el cual es la cabeza de todo principado y potestad:
11 in quo et circumcisi estis circumcisione non manu facta in expoliatione corporis carnis, sed in circumcisione Christi:
11 En el cual también sois circuncidados de circuncisión no hecha con manos, con el despojamiento del cuerpo de los pecados de la carne, en la circuncisión de Cristo;
12 consepulti ei in baptismo, in quo et resurrexistis per fidem operationis Dei, qui suscitavit illum a mortuis.
12 Sepultados juntamente con él en el bautismo, en el cual también resucitasteis con él, por la fe de la operación de Dios que le levantó de los muertos.
13 Et vos cum mortui essetis in delictis, et præputio carnis vestræ, convivificavit cum illo, donans vobis omnia delicta:
13 Y á vosotros, estando muertos en pecados y [en] la incircuncisión de vuestra carne, os vivificó juntamente con él, perdonándoos todos los pecados,
14 delens quod adversus nos erat chirographum decreti, quod erat contrarium nobis, et ipsum tulit de medio, affigens illud cruci:
14 Rayendo la cédula de los ritos que nos era contraria, que era contra nosotros, quitándola de en medio y enclavándola en la cruz;
15 et expolians principatus, et potestates traduxit confidenter, palam triumphans illos in semetipso.
15 [Y] despojando los principados y las potestades, sacólos á la vergüenza en público, triunfando de ellos en sí mismo.
16 Nemo ergo vos judicet in cibo, aut in potu, aut in parte diei festi, aut neomeniæ, aut sabbatorum:
16 Por tanto, nadie os juzgue en comida, ó en bebida, ó en parte de día de fiesta, ó de nueva luna, ó de sábados:
17 quæ sunt umbra futurorum: corpus autem Christi.
17 Lo cual es la sombra de lo por venir; mas el cuerpo es de Cristo.
18 Nemo vos seducat, volens in humilitate, et religione angelorum, quæ non vidit ambulans, frustra inflatus sensu carnis suæ,
18 Nadie os prive de vuestro premio, afectando humildad y culto á los ángeles, metiéndose en lo que no ha visto, vanamente hinchado en el sentido de su propia carne,
19 et non tenens caput, ex quo totum corpus per nexus, et conjunctiones subministratum, et constructum crescit in augmentum Dei.
19 Y no teniendo la cabeza, de la cual todo el cuerpo, alimentado y conjunto por las ligaduras y conjunturas, crece en aumento de Dios.
20 Si ergo mortui estis cum Christo ab elementis hujus mundi: quid adhuc tamquam viventes in mundo decernitis?
20 Pues si sois muertos con Cristo cuanto á los rudimentos del mundo, ¿por qué como si vivieseis al mundo, os sometéis á ordenanzas,
21 Ne tetigeritis, neque gustaveritis, neque contrectaveritis:
21 [Tales como], No manejes, ni gustes, ni aun toques,
22 quæ sunt omnia in interitum ipso usu, secundum præcepta et doctrinas hominum:
22 (Las cuales cosas son todas para destrucción en el uso [mismo]), en conformidad á mandamientos y doctrinas de hombres?
23 quæ sunt rationem quidem habentia sapientiæ in superstitione, et humilitate, et non ad parcendum corpori, non in honore aliquo ad saturitatem carnis.
23 Tales cosas tienen á la verdad cierta reputación de sabiduría en culto voluntario, y humildad, y en duro trato del cuerpo; no en alguna honra para el saciar de la carne.

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.
