In his opening remarks in Colossians, Paul repeatedly mentions knowledge. How he explains it, that knowledge is possible because we are delivered, redeemed, and forgiven in Christ. And it is through that knowledge - of God and his will - that we can walk in a manner worthy of God, bear fruit in good works, and persevere. And there are few better ways to know God than to be in prayer and the Word and to be at church.

保羅在歌羅西書的前言中多次提到知識。他是這樣解釋的：知識之所以成為可能，是因為我們在基督裡得到了釋放、救贖和寬恕。正是透過這種關於上帝和祂的旨意的知識，我們才能以配得上帝的方式行事，在善行上結出果實，並堅持下去。要認識神，禱告、讀神的話和去教會是較好的方法。
