Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now, am I rejoicing in the sufferings on your behalf, and am filling up the things that lack of the tribulations of the Christ, in my flesh, in behalf of his body, which is the assembly, 25 Of which, I, have become minister - according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you-ward, to fill up the word of God, 26 The sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but, now, hath been made manifest unto his saints - 27 Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, - 28 Whom we are declaring, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man complete in Christ; 29 Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
