“ The Epistle 1Paul apostle, not by men, nor because of man, but because of Jesus Christ,
to my brothers at Laodicea. 2Grace and the peace of God the father and the Lord, Jesus Christ be with you all. 3I thank Christ by all my prayer
that you are complete in Him, persist in carrying out His works, and abide in the promise and expectation of reward on Judgement Day. 4Neither have you let the false words of unwise men creep in on you, [7]
those that would have turned you away from the truth of the gospel that I preached. ”

“ And be careful of men rotten with greed. 14Let all your petitions be public before God, and be steadfast in the wisdom of Christ. 15And do whatever is sound and true, and honorable, and just and able to be loved, 17and you will have peace. ”
