6 Ainsi donc, comme vous avez reçu le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, marchez en lui,
7 étant enracinés et fondés en lui, et affermis par la foi, d’après les instructions qui vous ont été données, et abondez en actions de grâces.
8 Prenez garde que personne ne fasse de vous sa proie par la philosophie et par une vaine tromperie, s’appuyant sur la tradition des hommes, sur les rudiments du monde, et non sur Christ.
9 Car en lui habite corporellement toute la plénitude de la divinité.
10 Vous avez tout pleinement en lui, qui est le chef de toute domination et de toute autorité.
