The 14. Sermon.
COLOSS. 2. V. 1. to the 8. 1 For I would ye knew what great fighting I have for your sakes, and for them of Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my person in the flesh, 2 That their hearts might be comforted, and they knit together in love, and in all riches of the full assurance of understanding to know the mystery of God, even the Father, and of CHRIST: 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom, and knowledge, 4 And this I say, least any man should beguile you with enticing words: 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing, and beholding your order, and your steadfast faith in CHRIST. 6 As ye have therefore received CHRIST JESUS the Lord, so walk in him, 7 Rooted and built in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
