2:1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, ¹  and for those in Laodicea, and for those who have not met me face to face. ²  2:2 My goal is that ³  their hearts, having been knit together ⁴  in love, may be encouraged, and that ⁵  they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, ⁶  2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
