Colossians 2:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 (A)I say this so that no one will delude you with (B)persuasive argument. 5 For even though I am (C)absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing [a]to see your (D)good order and the (E)stability of your faith in Christ.
6 Therefore as you received (F)Christ Jesus the Lord, so [b](G)walk in Him, 7 having been firmly (H)rooted and being (I)built up in Him, and having been (J)established [c]in your faith—just as you (K)were instructed—and abounding [d]with thanksgiving.
8 (L)See to it that no one takes you captive through (M)philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the (N)elementary principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

American Standard Version
4 This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. 5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and builded up in him, and established [a]in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding [b]in thanksgiving.
8 [c]Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the [d]rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
