Colossians 2:7

Christ Versus The Colossian Heresy

⁶ Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, ⁷ having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. ⁸ See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
