Colossians 2:5-8
New International Version
5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit(A) and delight to see how disciplined(B) you are and how firm(C) your faith in Christ(D) is.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,(E) continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted(F) and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,(G) and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(H) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(I) rather than on Christ.
