Colossians 2:2

Then all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had handed down, and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,

Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

Now to Him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know our circumstances, and that he may encourage your hearts.

that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know about our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts;

Epaphras, who is one of your number, a slave of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand complete and fully assured in all the will of God.

for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full assurance; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
