25 1Of this church I 2was made a minister according to the 3stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might 4fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

26that is, 5the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His 6saints,

27to whom 7God willed to make known what is 8the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is 9Christ in you, the 10hope of glory.

28We proclaim Him, 11admonishing every man and teaching every man 12with all 13wisdom, so that we may 14present every man 15 16complete in Christ.

29For this purpose also I 17labor, 18striving 19according to His 20power, which 21mightily works within me.
