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—

你们若是与基督同死，脱离了世上的小学，为什么仍像在世俗中活着、服从那“不可拿、不可尝、不可摸”等类的规条呢？

既然你们与基督同死而脱离了世上粗浅的学说，为什么仍像生活在世俗中一样，去服从那“不可拿、不可尝、不可摸”等类的规条呢？

既然你们与基督同死而脱离了世上粗浅的学说，为什么仍像生活在世俗中一样，去服从那“不可拿、不可尝、不可摸”等类的规条呢？

你们既然和基督一同死了，摆脱了世俗的玄学，为什么仍像活在世俗中，

你们若与基督一同死了，脱离了世俗的言论，为什么仍然好像活在世俗中一样，拘守那“不可摸、不可尝、不可触”的规条呢？

你们如果已经和基督一同死了，脱离了世界的原则，为什么还像活在这世俗中一样，拘守那些

你們若是與基督同死，脫離了世上的小學，為甚麼仍像在世俗中活着、服從那「不可拿、不可嘗、不可摸」等類的規條呢？

既然你們與基督同死而脫離了世上粗淺的學說，為甚麼仍像生活在世俗中一樣，去服從那「不可拿、不可嘗、不可摸」等類的規條呢？

既然你們與基督同死而脫離了世上粗淺的學說，為甚麼仍像生活在世俗中一樣，去服從那「不可拿、不可嘗、不可摸」等類的規條呢？

你們既然和基督一同死了，擺脫了世俗的玄學，為什麼仍像活在世俗中，

你們若與基督一同死了，脫離了世俗的言論，為甚麼仍然好像活在世俗中一樣，拘守那“不可摸、不可嘗、不可觸”的規條呢？

你們既和基督一同死了，脫離了世界所信的星質之靈，為甚麼還在世俗中活着，而去服從那

你們如果已經和基督一同死了，脫離了世界的原則，為什麼還像活在這世俗中一樣，拘守那些

爾既與基督同死、以絕世之小學、胡為從乎世、服於儀文乎、

爾效基督之死、脫此世小學、奚可從世故、尚儀文乎、

若爾與基督同死、脫斯世之賤質、何仍遵儀文、似猶活於世俗中、

爾等既與基督同死、而已灑然脫於世俗之蒙學矣、乃何又鰓鰓遵循人為之禁令、一若尚生於世俗之中耶？

Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:

Some people still follow the basic spiritual powers of the world. But you died with Christ as far as these powers are concerned. So why do you act as if you still belong to the world? Here are the rules you follow.

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,

If you died with Christ to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:

If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,

Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—

If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,

If you died with the Messiah to the elemental forces of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:

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,

If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world?

If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

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.

In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.

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.

by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.

by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?You observe days and months and seasons and years!I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.For one who has died has been set free from sin.Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
