Colossians 2:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ So, then, just as you received Messiah Jesus the Lord, you must continue your journey in him. ⁷ You must put down healthy roots in him, being built up brick by brick in him, and established strongly in the faith, just as you were taught, with overflowing thankfulness.

Beware of deceivers

⁸ Watch out that nobody uses philosophy and hollow trickery to take you captive! These are in line with human tradition, and with the “elements of the world”—not with the Messiah.
