Colossians 2:7

Christ Versus The Colossian Heresy

⁶ So just as you once accepted the Christ, Jesus, as your Lord, you must live in vital union with him. ⁷ You must be rooted and built up in him and made strong in faith, just as you were taught to be, overflowing with it in your gratitude. ⁸ Take care that nobody exploits you through the pretensions of philosophy, guided by human tradition, following material ways of looking at things, instead of following Christ.
