Now I have joy in my pain because of you, and in my flesh I undergo whatever is still needed to make the sorrows of Christ complete, for the salvation of his body, the church

25

Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

26

The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,

27

To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

28

Whom we are preaching guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ

29

And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
