241NowG3568 I rejoiceG5463 in my sufferingsG3804 for your sakeG5228, and in my fleshG4561 2I 3do my shareG466 on behalfG5228 of 4His bodyG4983, whichG3739 is the churchG1577, in fillingG466 up whatG3588 is lackingG5303 5in Christ’sG5547 afflictionsG2347.
256Of this church I 7was madeG1096 a ministerG1249 accordingG2596 to the 8stewardshipG3622 from GodG2316 bestowedG1325 on me for your benefitG1519, so that I might 9fullyG4137 carryG4137 out the preaching of the wordG3056 of GodG2316,
26that is, 10the mysteryG3466 which has been hiddenG613 from the past agesG165 and generationsG1074, but has nowG3568 been manifestedG5319 to His 11saintsG40,
27to whomG3739 12GodG2316 willedG2309 to makeG1107 knownG1107 whatG5101 is 13the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG3778 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, whichG3739 is 14ChristG5547 in you, the 15hopeG1680 of gloryG1391.
28We proclaimG2605 Him, 16admonishingG3560 everyG3956 manG444 and teachingG1321 everyG3956 manG444 17with allG3956 18wisdomG4678, soG2443 that we may 19presentG3936 everyG3956 manG444 2021completeG5046 in ChristG5547.
29For thisG3739 purpose alsoG2532 I 22laborG2872, 23strivingG75 24accordingG2596 to His 25powerG1411, which 26mightilyG1411 worksG1754 withinG1722 me.
