19For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;
20Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.
21And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one
22In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:
23If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24Now 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;
25Of 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,
