Colossians 2:2

2 I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love, so that they may have all the riches of assured understanding and have the knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ himself,

Colossians 2:2 In-Context

1 For I want you to know how much I am struggling for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me face to face.
2 I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love, so that they may have all the riches of assured understanding and have the knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ himself,
3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 I am saying this so that no one may deceive you with plausible arguments.
5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, and I rejoice to see your morale and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
