Colossians 1:26

Sacrificial Service for Christ

24 ^aI now rejoice in my sufferings ^bfor you, and fill up in my flesh ^cwhat is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for ^dthe sake of His body, which is the church,

25 of which I became a minister according to ^athe stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

26 ^athe¹ mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, ^bbut now has been revealed to His saints.

27 ^aTo them God willed to make known what are ^bthe riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles:¹ which is ^cChrist in you, ^dthe hope of glory.

28 Him we preach, ^awarning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, ^bthat we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me ^amightily.
