Colossians 4:16 refers to a letter from Laodicea, not proof of a missing Bible book. The verse supports early letter sharing among congregations.
Laodicea, City in Asia Minor
Laodicea’s ruins illuminate Paul’s greetings, the exchange of apostolic letters, and Christ’s stern message to a wealthy, self-satisfied congregation.
Was There Really an Epistle to the Laodiceans as Stated In Colossians 4:16, and, If so, Why Is It Not In Our Bibles?
Colossians 4:16 refers to a real letter connected with Laodicea, but not a lost inspired book missing from the New Testament.
