Colossians 1:27-2:3

English Standard Version

^27 (A)To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are ^(B)the riches of the glory of ^(C)this mystery, which is Christ in you, ^(D)the hope of glory. ²⁸ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that ^(E)we may present everyone ^(F)mature in Christ. ²⁹ For this ^(G)I toil, ^(H)struggling ^(I)with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

2 For I want you to know ^(J)how great a ^(K)struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, ² that ^(L)their hearts may be encouraged, being ^(M)knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of ^(N)God's mystery, which is Christ, ^3 (O)in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
