Colossians 2:4-8

Williams(i) 4 I am saying this to keep anyone from misleading you by persuasive arguments. 5 For though I am far away in person, still I am with you in spirit, and I am glad to note your fine order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. 6 So, just as you once accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue living in vital union with Him, 7 with your roots deeply planted in Him, being continuously built up in Him, and growing stronger in faith, just as you were taught to do, overflowing through it in your gratitude. 8 Take care that nobody captures you by the idle fancies of his so-called philosophy, following human tradition and the world's crude notions instead of Christ.
