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 were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders

Εαν λοιπον απεθανετε μετα του Χριστου απο των στοιχειων του κοσμου, δια τι ως ζωντες εν τω κοσμω υποκεισθε εις διαταγματα,

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,
