¹For I want you to know the kind of solicitude that I have for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, as well as for those who have not seen my face in the flesh. ²May their hearts be consoled and instructed in charity, with all the riches of a plenitude of understanding, with knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus. ³For in him are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴Now I say this, so that no one may deceive you with grandiose words. ⁵For though I may be absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. And I rejoice as I gaze upon your order and its foundation, which is in Christ, your faith. ⁶Therefore, just as you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, walk in him.
