Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:

If therefore you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why do you practice ordinances as living in the world,??21 you shall not touch, you shall not taste, you shall not feel,??22 all which are to perish in the using??ccording to the commandments and instructions of men?

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

And the peace of God shall rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance;

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Then I shall proclaim it fully, as it is my duty to do.

All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

And when the epistle shall be read among you, make that also it be read to the church in Laodicea; and that ye also read that from Laodicea.
