Colossians 2:1-5 - Christ, The Mystery Of God
1 For I desire you to know, how great a contest I am having - in behalf of you, and of those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 In order that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, even unto all the riches of the full assurance of their understanding, unto a personal knowledge of the sacred secret of God, - Christ: 3 In whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away.
4 This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse; 5 For, though, indeed, in the flesh, I am absent, yet, in the spirit, with you, I am - rejoicing, and beholding your order and the solid firmness of your Christ-ward faith.
