4 Now this I say alest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.
5 For athough I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing1 to see byour good order and the csteadfastness of your faith in Christ.
6 aAs you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
7 arooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding1 in it with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone1 cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to athe tradition of men, according to the bbasic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 For ain Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead1 bodily;
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the ahead of all principality and power.
Not Legalism but Christ
11 In Him you were also acircumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by bputting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 aburied with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through bfaith in the working of God, cwho raised Him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
