Colossians 2:19 | |
NASB: and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God. (NASB ©1995) GWT: He doesn't hold on to [Christ,] the head. Christ makes the whole body grow as God wants it to, through support and unity given by the joints and ligaments. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: 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. ASV: and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increasing with the increase of God. BBE: And not joined to the Head, from whom all the body, being given strength and kept together through its joins and bands, has its growth with the increase of God. DBY: and 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. WEY: Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth. WBS: 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. WEB: and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth. YLT: 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. | |
