1 For|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" would|strong="G2309" have|strong="G2192" you|strong="G5210" know|strong="G1492" how|strong="G1492" greatly|strong="G3756" I|strong="G1473" strive for|strong="G1063" you|strong="G5210", and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1063" them|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1722" Laodicea|strong="G2993", and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1063" as|strong="G3745" many|strong="G3745" as|strong="G3745" have|strong="G2192" not|strong="G3756" seen|strong="G3708" my|strong="G3708" face|strong="G4383" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" flesh|strong="G4561";
2 that|strong="G2443" their|strong="G2532" hearts|strong="G2588" may|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" comforted|strong="G3870", they|strong="G2532" being|strong="G2532" knit|strong="G4822" together|strong="G4822" in|strong="G1722" love, and|strong="G2532" unto|strong="G1519" all|strong="G3956" riches|strong="G4149" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" full|strong="G3956" assurance|strong="G4136" of|strong="G2316" understanding|strong="G4907", that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G2532" may|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" mystery|strong="G3466" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", even Christ|strong="G5547",

6 As|strong="G5613" therefore|strong="G3767" ye|strong="G3588" received|strong="G3880" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962", so walk|strong="G4043" in|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588",
