Colossians 2:1; Colossians 2:5; Colossians 3:3; Colossians 3:20; Colossians 3:24; Colossians 4:13 (King James Version)

1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 3 For ye are dead , and your life is hid with Christ in God. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 13 For I bear him record , that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
