23if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body`s sake, which is the assembly;
25of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,
26the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
27to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
28whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;
29for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
