Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now I rejoice in sufferings for you, and supply the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church, 25 of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God given me for you, to complete the word of God, 26 the mystery concealed from ages and from generations, but now it has been manifested to his saints, 27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28 whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; 29 for which I also labor, striving with his power which operates in me with power.
