Colossians 1:25-29

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

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

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

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

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