Colossians 2:7

Christ Versus The Colossian Heresy

⁶ As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, even so walk rooted and built in him, ⁷ and steadfast in the faith, as ye have learned: and therein be plenteous in giving thanks. ⁸ Beware lest any man come and spoil you through philosophy and deceitful vanity, through the traditions of men, and ordinances after the world, and not after Christ.
