Colossians 2:1-5

I want you to know how I am fighting for you, for the believers in Laodicea, and even for those whom I have not yet met face to face, that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love. I want them to have complete assurance that they understand the secret of God the Father, which is Christ himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so that no one can deceive you with well-crafted arguments. For though I am not with you in body, I am with you in spirit, and am delighted to know how in order you are, and that your faith in Christ is strong.
