Your Hope of glory!' 28 This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning every one, and instructing every one, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing every one into God's presence perfected by union with Christ. 29 It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
