³ Christ is the one who holds everything that makes people wise. He helps people to know the true message that God had hidden.

⁴ I am telling you these things so that false teachers will not deceive you. They may teach ideas that seem good, but do not listen to them. ⁵ My body is not there with you, but I think about you a lot. I hear that you are living and working well together. I also hear that you continue to trust Christ strongly. That makes me very happy.
