Colossians 2:4-8

21st Century King James Version

⁴ And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words;

⁵ for though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

⁶ As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him,

⁷ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

⁸ Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, following the tradition of men according to the rudiments of the world, and not in accordance with Christ.
