4
I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments.
5
For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the strength of your faith in Christ.
6
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him,
7
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8
Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.
