Colossians 2:17-19
17things which are 1a mere shadow of what is to come; but the 2substance 3belongs to Christ. 18Let no one keep 45defrauding you of your prize by 6delighting in 7self-abasement and the worship of the angels, 8taking his stand on visions he has seen, 910inflated without cause by his 11fleshly mind, 19and not holding fast to 12the head, from whom 13the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and 14ligaments, grows with a growth 15which is from God.
