Colossians 2:6-10

Contemporary English Version

Christ Brings Real Life

⁶ You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him. ⁷ Plant your roots in Christ and let him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.

⁸ Don't let anyone fool you by using senseless arguments. These arguments may sound wise, but they are only human teachings. They come from the powers of this world^[a] and not from Christ.

⁹ God lives fully in Christ. ¹⁰ And you are fully grown because you belong to Christ, who is over every power and authority.
