- For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
- That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
- In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
- For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
|
- For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face,
- that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,
- in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
- I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.
- For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.
|
- As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
- Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
|
- Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
- having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
