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,
26The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,
27To 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:
28Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ;
29And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
