Colossians 2:4-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
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 [b]your (D)good discipline 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 your faith, just as you (K)were instructed, and overflowing [e]with gratitude.
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, [f]rather than according to Christ.
