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

1 For I wish you to know how great contest I have for you, and them in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being joined together in love, and to all the riches of the complete certainty of the understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4 And this I say, lest any mislead you with persuasive arguments. 5 For if also I am away in the flesh but in the Spirit am I with you, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
