Colossians 2:19 in Context — Colossians 2

17 essas coisas são a sombra das coisas futuras, mas a realidade pertence a Cristo.

18 Ninguém, pois, se faça de juiz contra vós, insistindo nos pretextos de “humildade” e de “culto aos anjos” , envolvendo-se em coisas que nunca viu, vangloriando-se em sua mentalidade carnal,

19 e não se ligando à cabeça, da qual todo o corpo, suprido e organizado pelas juntas e ligamentos, vai crescendo com o crescimento da parte de Deus.
