ESV

1	For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,
2	that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ,
3	in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4	I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.
5	For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6	Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
7	rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8	See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
9	For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10	and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
11	In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12	having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13	And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14	by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
15	He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
16	Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
17	These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
18	Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,
19	and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
20	If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations-
21	“Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch”
22	( referring to things that all perish as they are used)- according to human precepts and teachings?
23	These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

NIV

1	I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.
2	My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
3	in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4	I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
5	For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
6	So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,
7	rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8	See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
9	For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
10	and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
11	In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,
12	having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
13	When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
14	having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
15	And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
16	Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
17	These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
18	Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.
19	He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
20	Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules:
21	“Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”?
22	These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
23	Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

NLT

1	I want you to know how much I have agonized for you and for the church at Laodicea, and for many other believers who have never met me personally.
2	I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God's mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.
3	In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4	I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.
5	For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.
6	And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.
7	Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
8	Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.
9	For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.
10	So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
11	When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision– the cutting away of your sinful nature.
12	For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
13	You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
14	He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15	In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
16	So don't let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
17	For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
18	Don't let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud,
19	and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.
20	You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,
21	“Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!”?
22	Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.
23	These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person's evil desires.

KJV

1	For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2	That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3	In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4	And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5	For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6	As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7	Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8	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.
9	For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10	And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11	In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12	Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13	And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14	Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15	And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16	Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17	Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18	Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19	And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20	Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21	Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22	Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23	Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
