1. For I wish you to know what a great struggle I have for you and those in Laodikeia, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,
2. in order that their hearts might be encouraged, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the entire confirmation of understanding, to a true knowledge of the secret of Elohim, and of the Father, and of the Messiah,
3. in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4. And this I say, so that no one deceives you with enticing words.
