Whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

Beware, lest there should be any one who makes a spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceits, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ;

Let no one, therefore, judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new moon, or sabbaths,

(which are all for destruction in the using), according to the commandments and teachings of men?

Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

and having put on the new man who is being renewed unto full knowledge, according to the image of Him Who created him;

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
