Colossians 2

Paul warns the Colossians against false teachings involving Jewish practices (circumcision, holy days, dietary laws), ascetic practices, and mystical elements (angel worship and visions), urging them to recognize that they have already experienced God's fullness in Christ.[2][4] He emphasizes that through their death and resurrection with Christ in baptism, they are complete in Him and need not submit to empty religious regulations.[4]
