Christ versus the Colossian Heresy
4 I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments. 5 For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit,(F) rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.
6 Therefore, as you have received(G) Christ Jesus the Lord,(H) walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him(I) and established in the faith, just as you were taught,(J) overflowing with gratitude.
