He is also the head of the body, the church;He is the beginning,the firstborn from the dead,so that He might come to havefirst place in everything.
But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him—
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for His body, that is, the church.
For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.
You were also circumcised in Him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Messiah.
He doesn’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, develops with growth from God.
Although these have a reputation of wisdom by promoting ascetic practices, humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.
And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.
