Colossians 2:20

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
World English Bible (WEB)
Wherefore{G3767} if{G1487} ye be dead{G599}{(G5627)} with{G4862} Christ{G5547} from{G575} the rudiments{G4747} of the world{G2889}, why{G5101}, as though{G5613} living{G2198}{(G5723)} in{G1722} the world{G2889}, are ye subject to ordinances{G1379}{(G5743)},
Strong's King James
(20) If you've died with Mashiach, away from the elementary principles of this world, why are you living as if in the world and submit to it's dogmatic thinking?
The F.O.G*
[20] Since you died with Messiah to the elementary spiritual forces of this world, why do you keep following its rules as if you still belonged to it?
The F.O.G Paraphrase
If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?
Young's Literal Translation
