5For though I bee absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, ioying and beholding your order, and the stedfastnesse of your faith in Christ. 6As yee haue therefore receiued Christ Iesus the Lord, so walke yee in him: 7Rooted and built vp in him, and stablished in the faith, as yee haue bene taught, abounding therein with thankesgiuing. 8Beware lest any man spoile you through Philosophie and vaine deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: 9For in him dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily.
