Colossians 1:24-29 - Paul's Suffering And Stewardship
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings in your behalf, and fill up in turn the deficiencies of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh for the sake of His body, which is the assembly; 25 of which I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but was now made manifest to His saints; 27 to whom God willed 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 proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; 29 to which end I am toiling also, striving according to His working, which is working in me with power.
