Colossians 2:1-5 - Christ, The Mystery Of God
1 For I wish you knew how great my concern is for you, and for those of Laodicea, and for such as have never seen me in person: 2 that their hearts might be comforted, and that being firmly united in love, they might possess the highest and fullest persuasion of the truth of this doctrine, by entring into this mystery, even of God the father, and of Christ, 3 in whom are reserv'd all the treasures of wd om and knowledge.
4 I mention this, lest any one should deceive you by specious pretences. 5 for tho' I am absent in person, yet I am present with you in my mind, and am glad to perceive the regularily of your affairs, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
