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, overflowing with gratitude.
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.
9. For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ,
10. and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
11. You were also circumcised in Him with a circumcision not done with hands, by putting off the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Messiah.
12. Having been buried with Him in baptism, you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
