Quote by James S.A. Corey

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world, rather than according to Christ. Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Don't let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Hold fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together, grows with a growth that is from God. Be careful that you are not led astray by the philosophies of men.”
