Colossians 2:1-5 - Christ, The Mystery Of God

¹ For I would have you know what a great conflict I have for you, and for those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen me in person: ² that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all the riches of a full assurance of understanding in these things, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of our God and Father, and of Christ: ³ in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁴ And this I say, least any one should deceive you with fine speeches. ⁵ For though I be absent in body, yet am I with you in spirit, rejoicing and beholding your regularity, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
