Colossians 2:2

Colossians 2:2

Not Philosophy but Christ

1 For I want you to know what a great ^aconflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God,¹ both of the Father and of Christ,

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

4 Now this I say ^alest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

5 For ^athough I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing¹ to see ^byour good order and the ^csteadfastness of your faith in Christ.

6 ^aAs you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
