1. I want you to know how hard I am working for you. I'm concerned for those who are in Laodicea. I'm also concerned for everyone who has not met me in person.
2. I want their hearts to be made cheerful and strong. I want them to be joined together in love. Then their understanding will be rich and complete. They will know the mystery of God. That mystery is Christ.
3. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him.
4. But I don't want anyone to fool you with fast talk that only sounds good.
