Colossians 2:1, 3-5

For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
