Colossians 1:28

Paul's Suffering And Stewardship

²⁷ He was pleased to make known to these people the wealth of His splendor among the Gentiles; this hidden secret, which is Christ among you, [is] the hope of being honored [i.e., in heaven]. ²⁸ We proclaim Him, warning and teaching every person with all wisdom, so that we may present every person [to God] complete in [their fellowship with] Christ. ²⁹ This is the reason that I work hard and struggle also, using God's mighty power which is at work in me.
