Colossians 2:1-5 - Christ, The Mystery Of God
1 For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally, 2 in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself. 3 In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.
4 I say this to prevent your being misled by any one's plausible sophistry. 5 For although, as you say, I am absent from you in body, yet in spirit I am present with you and am delighted to witness your good discipline and the solid front presented by your faith in Christ.
