Colossians 2:1-7

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Colossians 2:1-7

1For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me face to face,
2that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,
3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.
5For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.
6Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,
7rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
— Colossians 2:1-7
