Christ versus the Colossian Heresy

4 I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with arguments that sound reasonable. 5 For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit,(A) rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.

6 So then, just as you have received(B) Christ Jesus as Lord,(C) continue to walk in him, 7 being rooted and built up in him(D) and established in the faith, just as you were taught,(E) and overflowing with gratitude.

8 Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition,(F) based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.(G)

Colossians 2:4-8
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.

8 (L)See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through (M)philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the (N)elementary principles of the world, [g]rather than in accordance with Christ.
