Colossians 2:6-10

Expanded Bible

Continue to Live in Christ

⁶ [^LTherefore] As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so continue to ·live [walk] in him. ⁷ Keep your roots deep in him and have your lives built on him. Be ·strong [established] in the faith, just as you were taught, ·and always be thankful [abounding/overflowing with gratitude].

⁸ ·Be sure [Be careful; Watch; See] that no one ·leads you away [takes you captive; captivates you] with ·false [deceptive] and ·empty [worthless] teaching that is ·only human [^Laccording to human traditions], which comes from the ·ruling spirits [elemental spiritual forces (demons); or elementary teachings] of this world, and not from Christ. ⁹ ·All of God lives fully in Christ [^LFor in him all the fullness of deity dwells] ·in a human body [bodily; embodied], ¹⁰ and you have ·a full and true life in Christ [^Lbeen filled in him], who is ·ruler [^Lhead] over every ruler and ·power [authority].
