Colossians 2:1-7 ▼

1 I WOULD that you knew how I struggled for your sakes and for the sake of those who are at La-od-i-ce’a, and for the rest who have not seen me personally;

2 That their hearts may be comforted, and that they may be brought near by love to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, the Father, and of Christ,

3 In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4 And I say this, so that no man may beguile you with enticing words.

5 For though I am far away from you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, and I rejoice to see your orderliness and the sincerity of your faith in Christ.

6 Just as you have therefore accepted Jesus Christ our LORD, so you must be led by him:

7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
