For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; ²that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ, ³in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. ⁴This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. ⁵For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

⁶As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, ⁷rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. ⁸Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: ⁹for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, ¹⁰and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power:

Read in Logos
