Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up instead that which is wanting of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the church; 25 of which I became a minister, according to the stewardship which God entrusted to me, for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which hath been hidden for ages and generations, but hath been now revealed to his saints; 27 to whom it was the will of God to make known what is the riches of the glory 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; 29 to which end I also am laboring, striving earnestly through his working, which worketh within me mightily.
