Colossians 2:1-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
1
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have in your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face,
2
that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and
that they would attain
to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding,
resulting
in a true knowledge of God’s mystery,
that is,
Christ
Himself,
3
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments.
5
For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.
King James Version
Chapter 2
1
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
5
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
1
For I want you to know how greatly I am struggling for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me in person.
2
I want their hearts to be encouraged and joined together in love, so that they may have all the riches of complete understanding and have the knowledge of God’s mystery —Christ.
3
In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with arguments that sound reasonable.
5
For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
1
I want you to know how much I have agonized for you and for the church at Laodicea, and for many other believers who have never met me personally.
2
I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.
3
In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.
5
For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
1
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face,
2
that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God 's mystery, which is Christ,
3
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.
5
For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
New International Version
Chapter 2
1
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.
2
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
3
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
5
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.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
1
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,
2
that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and
attaining
to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,
3
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4
Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.
5
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.
