G2532–καί–kai

For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,

καὶ kai “and”

for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;

καὶ kai “even”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ,

καὶ kai “also”

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with `him' through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

καὶ kai “also”

And you -- being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh -- He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,

Καὶ Kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;

καὶ kai “and”

having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it.

καὶ kai “and”

Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,

καὶ kai “or”

let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and `in' worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

καὶ kai “and”

and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,

καὶ kai “and”

which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body -- not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

καὶ kai “and”

when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

καὶ kai “also”

Put to death, then, your members that `are' upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

καὶ kai “and”

in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

καὶ kai “also”

but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

καὶ kai “also”

and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

καὶ kai “and”

where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

καὶ kai “and”
