7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone,(A) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(B) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(C) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(D)

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Colossians 2:6-3:11
Christian Standard Bible
6 So then, just as you have received(A) Christ Jesus as Lord,(B) continue to walk in him, 7 being rooted and built up in him(C) and established in the faith, just as you were taught,(D) and overflowing with gratitude.
8 Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition,(E) based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.(F) 9 For the entire fullness(G) of God’s nature dwells bodily[a] in Christ, 10 and you have been filled by him, who is the head(H) over every ruler and authority. 11 You were also circumcised in him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh,(I) in the circumcision of Christ,(J) 12 when you were buried with him(K) in baptism, in which you were also raised with him(L) through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(M) 13 And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him and forgave us all our trespasses. 14 He erased the certificate of debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.(N) 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and disgraced them publicly; he triumphed over them in him.[b](O)
16 Therefore, don’t let anyone judge(P) you in regard to food and drink(Q) or in the matter of a festival or a new moon(R) or a Sabbath day.[c] 17 These are a shadow(S) of what was to come;(T) the substance is[d] Christ.(U) 18 Let no one condemn[e] you(V) by delighting in ascetic practices(W) and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm. Such people are inflated(X) by empty notions of their unspiritual[f] mind. 19 They don’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body,(Y) nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, grows with growth from God.
20 If you died with Christ(Z) to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations: 21 “Don’t handle, don’t taste, don’t touch”? 22 All these regulations refer to what is destined to perish by being used up; they are human commands and doctrines. 23 Although these have a reputation for wisdom(AA) by promoting self-made religion, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.[g](AB)
The Life of the New Man
3 So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(AC) 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.(AD) 3 For you died,(AE) and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[h] life, appears,(AF) then you also will appear with him in glory.(AG)
5 Therefore, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,(AH) lust,(AI) evil desire, and greed,(AJ) which is idolatry.(AK) 6 Because of these, God’s wrath(AL) is coming upon the disobedient,[i] 7 and you once walked in these things when you were living(AM) in them. 8 But now, put away(AN) all the following: anger,(AO) wrath,(AP) malice,(AQ) slander,(AR) and filthy language from your mouth.(AS) 9 Do not lie(AT) to one another, since you have put off(AU) the old self(AV) with its practices 10 and have put on(AW) the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your[j] Creator.(AX) 11 In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.(AY)

Colossians 2:6-3:11

Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,(A) continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted(B) and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,(C) and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(D) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(E) rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness(F) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(G) over every power and authority.(H) 11 In him you were also circumcised(I) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b](J) was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(K) in which you were also raised with him(L) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(M)
13 When you were dead in your sins(N) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d] alive(O) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(P) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(Q) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(R) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(S) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(T) by the cross.[e]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you(U) by what you eat or drink,(V) or with regard to a religious festival,(W) a New Moon celebration(X) or a Sabbath day.(Y) 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come;(Z) the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility(AA) and the worship of angels disqualify you.(AB) Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head,(AC) from whom the whole body,(AD) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.(AE)
20 Since you died with Christ(AF) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,(AG) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:(AH) 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(AI) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(AJ) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(AK) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,(AL) set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.(AM) 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.(AN) 3 For you died,(AO) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[f] life,(AP) appears,(AQ) then you also will appear with him in glory.(AR)
5 Put to death,(AS) therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:(AT) sexual immorality,(AU) impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,(AV) which is idolatry.(AW) 6 Because of these, the wrath of God(AX) is coming.[g] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.(AY) 8 But now you must also rid yourselves(AZ) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander,(BA) and filthy language from your lips.(BB) 9 Do not lie to each other,(BC) since you have taken off your old self(BD) with its practices 10 and have put on the new self,(BE) which is being renewed(BF) in knowledge in the image of its Creator.(BG) 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew,(BH) circumcised or uncircumcised,(BI) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,(BJ) but Christ is all,(BK) and is in all.

King James Version
Colossians 2:6-3:11
King James Version
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.
3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
