Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now joy I in my sufferings which I suffer, for you; and fulfill that which is behind of the passions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the congregation - 25 whereof am I made a minister according to the ordinance of God, which ordinance was given me unto you ward, to fulfill the word of God: 26 that mystery, hid since the world began, and since the beginning of generations: But now is opened to his saints, 27 to whom God would make known the glorious riches of this mystery among the gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28 whom we preach warning all men, and teaching all men in all wisdom, to make all men perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 Wherein I also labour and strive, even as far forth as his working worketh in me mightily.
