Colossians 2:4-10
English Standard Version
4 I say this in order (A)that no one may delude you with plausible arguments. 5 For (B)though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your (C)good order and (D)the firmness of your faith in Christ.
Alive in Christ
6 (E)Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 (F)rooted and (G)built up in him and (H)established in the faith, just (I)as you were taught, abounding (J)in thanksgiving.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by (K)philosophy and (L)empty deceit, according to (M)human tradition, according to the (N)elemental spirits[a] of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For (O)in him the whole fullness of deity dwells (P)bodily, 10 and (Q)you have been filled in him, who is (R)the head of all rule and authority.
