Thank you John and doves. I have read Doves for several years and this is my second post.
from 5 Doves at the top of the page-
Colossians 4:16
"After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea ."
Apocrypha: Laodiceans Chapter 1
1:20 And cause this epistle to be read unto them of Colossae, and the epistle of the Colossians to be read unto you.
Laodiceans 1: 1-5
1 Paul, an apostle not of men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, unto the brethren that are at Laodicea.
2 Grace be unto you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I give thanks unto Christ in all my prayers, that ye continue in him and persevere in his works, looking for the promise at the day of judgement.
4 Neither do the vain talkings of some overset you, which creep in, that they may turn you away from the truth of the Gospel which is preached by me.
5 And now shall God cause that they that are of me shall continue ministering unto the increase of the truth of the Gospel and accomplishing goodness, and the work of salvation, even eternal life.
May we be looking for the promise at the day of judgement.
