Kolosserne 2,1

Jeg vil at dere skal forstå hvor stor en kamp jeg har for dere og for dem i Laodikea, og for alle som ikke har sett meg ansikt til ansikt.

2 Mitt mål er at deres hjerter må bli oppmuntret, forenet i kjærlighet, og at de kan nå all rikdommen som kommer fra den fulle vissheten om forståelse, som leder til en sann kunnskap om Guds mysterium, som er Kristus selv,

3 i hvem alle visdommens og kunnskapens skatter er skjult.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
