¹For I would have you know what combat I have for you, and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh;

¹ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܐܓܘܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܚܠܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܠܕܝܩܝܐ ܘܚܠܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܦܪܨܘܦܝ ܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܒܒܤܪ ܀

²to the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to [the] full knowledge of the mystery of God;

²ܕܢܬܒܝܐܘܢ ܠܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܩܪܒܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܦܝܤܐ ܘܠܤܘܟܠܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܗ ܕܐܪܙܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܘܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

³in which are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.

³ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܟܤܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܀

⁴And I say this to the end that no one may delude you by persuasive speech.

⁴ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܛܥܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܦܝܤܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܀

⁵For if indeed in the flesh I am absent, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

⁵ܐܦܢ ܒܒܤܪ ܓܝܪ ܦܪܝܩ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܪܘܚ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܟܤܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܫܪܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁶As therefore ye have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in him,

⁶ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ ܒܗ ܗܠܟܘ ܀

⁷rooted and built up in him, and assured in the faith, even as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

⁷ܟܕ ܡܫܪܪܝܢ ܥܩܪܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܘܡܬܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܕܒܗ ܬܬܝܬܪܘܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܀

⁸See that there be no one who shall lead *you* away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.

⁸ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܚܠܨܟܘܢ ܒܦܝܠܤܦܘܬܐ ܘܒܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܘܟܤܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁹For in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

⁹ܕܒܗ ܥܡܪ ܟܠܗ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܘܬܐ ܓܘܫܡܢܐܝܬ ܀

¹⁰and ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and authority,

¹⁰ܘܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܡܠܝܬܘܢ ܕܗܘ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܀

¹¹in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ;

¹¹ܘܒܗ ܐܬܓܙܪܬܘܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܐܝܕܝܢ ܒܫܠܚ ܒܤܪܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܒܓܙܘܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

¹²buried with him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [him] through faith of the working of God who raised him from among the dead.

¹²ܘܐܬܩܒܪܬܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܘܒܗ ܩܡܬܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܕܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀

¹³And you, being dead in offences and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has quickened together with him, having forgiven us all the offences;

¹³ܘܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܥܘܪܠܘܬ ܒܤܪܟܘܢ ܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܫܒܩ ܠܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܀

¹⁴having effaced the handwriting in ordinances which [stood out] against us, which was contrary to us, he has taken it also out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;

¹⁴ܘܥܛܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܫܛܪ ܚܘܒܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܤܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܫܩܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܐ ܘܩܒܥܗ ܒܙܩܝܦܗ ܀

¹⁵having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.

¹⁵ܘܒܫܠܚ ܦܓܪܗ ܦܪܤܝ ܠܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܠܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܘܐܒܗܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܀

¹⁶Let none therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in matter of feast, or new moon, or sabbaths,

¹⁶ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܘܕܟܘܢ ܒܡܐܟܠܐ ܘܒܡܫܬܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܦܘܠܓܐ ܕܥܐܕܐ ܘܕܪܝܫ ܝܪܚܐ ܘܕܫܒܐ ܀

¹⁷which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

¹⁷ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܛܠܢܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܀

¹⁸Let no one fraudulently deprive you of your prize, doing his own will in humility and worship of angels, entering into things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

¹⁸ܘܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܨܒܐ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܠܡܚܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܫܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ ܒܕܤܥܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܘܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܡܬܚܬܪ ܒܪܥܝܢܐ ܕܒܤܪܗ ܀

¹⁹and not holding fast the head, from whom all the body, ministered to and united together by the joints and bands, increases with the increase of God.

¹⁹ܘܠܐ ܐܚܕ ܪܫܐ ܕܡܢܗ ܟܠܗ ܦܓܪܐ ܡܬܪܟܒ ܘܡܬܩܝܡ ܒܫܪܝܢܐ ܘܒܗܕܡܐ ܘܪܒܐ ܬܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

²⁰If ye have died with Christ from the elements of the world, why as [if] alive in [the] world do ye subject yourselves to ordinances?

²⁰ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܐܤܛܘܟܤܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܡܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

²¹Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch,

²¹ܠܐ ܠܡ ܬܩܪܘܒ ܘܠܐ ܬܛܥܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܩܦ ܀

²²(things which are all for destruction in the using [of them]:) according to the injunctions and teachings of men,

²²ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܫܚܬܐ ܕܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܘܦܘܩܕܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

²³(which have indeed an appearance of wisdom in voluntary worship, and humility, and harsh treatment of the body, not in a certain honour,) to [the] satisfaction of the flesh.

²³ܘܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܝܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܒܦܪܨܘܦ ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܘܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܚܝܤܝܢ ܥܠ ܦܓܪܐ ܠܘ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܡܝܩܪ ܐܠܐ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܫܚܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܀
