1 For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh. 2 May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus. 3 For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words. 5 For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith. 6 Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him. 7 Be rooted and continually built up in Christ. And be confirmed in the faith, just as you have also learned it, increasing in him with acts of thanksgiving. Colossians 2:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
