Colossians 2:4-8 I say this so that no one might delude you by persuasive speech.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ I say this so that no one might delude you by persuasive speech. ⁵ Truly indeed, if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. ⁶ Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, ⁷ having been rooted and being built up in Him, and being strengthened in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding with thanksgiving. ⁸ Take heed lest there will be anyone taking you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the principles of the world and not according to Christ.
