Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what remains of my sufferings for Christ in my flesh for the sake of his body, which is the church, 25 of which I was made a minister according to the commission from God, which was given to me for you, that I might fully preach the word of God, 26 the mystery which was concealed from the ages and the generations, but is now made manifest to his saints, 27 to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 to which end I also labor, striving according to his energy, which works in me mightily.
