Colossians 2:1-7

Paul's Concern for Steadfastness in Christ

1
For I woulde ye knewe what great fighting I haue for your sakes, and for them of Laodicea, and for as many as haue not seene my person in the flesh,
2
That their heartes might be comforted, and they knit together in loue, and in all riches of the full assurance of vnderstanding, to know the mysterie of God, euen the Father, and of Christ:
3
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisedome and knowledge.
4
And this I say, lest any man shoulde beguile you with entising wordes:
5
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, reioycing and beholding your order, and your stedfast faith in Christ.

Fullness in Christ

6
As ye haue therefore receiued Christ Iesus the Lord, so walke in him,
7
Rooted and built in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye haue bene taught, abouding therein with thankesgiuing.
