Colossians 2:4-10
New King James Version
4 Now this I say (A)lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For (B)though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing [a]to see (C)your good order and the (D)steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 (E)As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 (F)rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding [b]in it with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone [c]cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to (G)the tradition of men, according to the (H)basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For (I)in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead [d]bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the (J)head of all [e]principality and power.
