Not Philosophy but Christ
1 For I want you to know what a great aconflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,
2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God,1 both of the Father and of Christ,
3 ain whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
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,

What Does Colossians 2:1 Mean?
Colossians 2:1
Since Paul did not start the church in Colosse, the people were unfamiliar with him as a man. He was someone who others quoted or spoke about his activities. They had heard of him, but they were not familiar with him.
