Colossians 2:1, 3-5

I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
