Colossians 2:4-8

Riverside(i) 4 I say this that no one may deceive you by plausible arguments. 5 For even though I am absent in the flesh, yet in the spirit I am with you, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. 6 Since, then, you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, growing strong in the faith as you have been taught, and overflowing with thanksgiving. 8 Beware that no one carries you away captive by his philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary teachings of the world and not according to Christ.
