Colossians 2:4-10
Living Bible
4 I am saying this because I am afraid that someone may fool you with smooth talk. 5 For though I am far away from you my heart is with you, happy because you are getting along so well, happy because of your strong faith in Christ. 6 And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done.
8 Don’t let others spoil your faith and joy with their philosophies, their wrong and shallow answers built on men’s thoughts and ideas, instead of on what Christ has said. 9 For in Christ there is all of God in a human body; 10 so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.

Colossians 2:4-10
New International Version
4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.(A) 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit(B) and delight to see how disciplined(C) you are and how firm(D) your faith in Christ(E) is.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,(F) continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted(G) and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,(H) and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(I) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(J) rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness(K) of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(L) over every power and authority.(M)
