- 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.
|
- 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.
