Colossians 2:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 (A)I say this so that no one will deceive you with (B)persuasive arguments. 5 For even though I am (C)absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing [a]to see [b]your (D)orderly manner and the (E)stability of your faith in Christ.
6 Therefore, as you have received (F)Christ Jesus the Lord, so [c](G)walk in Him, 7 having been firmly (H)rooted and now being (I)built up in Him and (J)established [d]in [e]your faith, just as you (K)were instructed, and overflowing [f]with gratitude.
