Colossians 1:28-2:1

New International Version

²⁸ He is the one we proclaim, admonishing^(A) and teaching everyone with all wisdom,^(B) so that we may present everyone fully mature^(C) in Christ. ²⁹ To this end I strenuously^(D) contend^(E) with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.^(F)

2 I want you to know how hard I am contending^(G) for you and for those at Laodicea,^(H) and for all who have not met me personally.
