Colossians 2:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 2:6

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.

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,
