Colossians 2:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ all these are only a shadow of what shall come. The reality, the core, the import, is found in the Anointed One. ¹⁸ Don’t be cheated out of the prize by others who are peddling the worship of heavenly beings and false humility. People like this run about telling whoever will listen what they claim to have seen; but in reality they testify only to an inflated mind, saturated in conceit—not in the Spirit. ¹⁹ They are detached from the very head that nourishes and connects the whole body with all of its nerves and ligaments, a body that grows by the kind of growth that can only come from God.
