1. For I want you to know how great a struggle I am having for you and for those in Laodicea and all who have not seen me face to face,
2. that their hearts may be encouraged as they are brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ,
3. in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4. I say this so that no one may deceive you by specious arguments.
