Colossians 2:1-5 - Christ, The Mystery Of God
1 For I want you to know how much I struggle for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have never seen me face to face. 2 Because they are united in love, I pray that their hearts may be encouraged by all the riches that come from a complete understanding of the full knowledge of the Messiah, who is the mystery of God. 3 In him are stored all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 I say this so that no one will mislead you with nice-sounding rhetoric. 5 For although I am physically absent, I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how stable you are and how firm your faith in the Messiah is.
