241NowG3568 I rejoiceG5463 in my sufferingsG3804 forG5228 your sakeG5228, and in my fleshG4561 2I am supplementingG466 whatG5303 isG5303 lackingG5303 3in Christ’sG5547 afflictionsG2347 inG5228 behalfG5228 of 4His bodyG4983, whichG3739 is the churchG1577.
255I 6was madeG1096 a ministerG1249 of thisG3739 church accordingG2596 to the 7commissionG3622 from GodG2316 grantedG1325 to me for your benefitG1519, so that I might 8fullyG4137 carryG4137 outG4137 the preaching of the wordG3056 of GodG2316,
26that is, 9the mysteryG3466 which had been hiddenG613 from the past agesG165 and generationsG1074, but nowG3568 has been revealedG5319 to His 10saintsG40,
27to whomG3739 11GodG2316 willedG2309 to makeG1107 knownG1107 whatG5101 12the wealthG4149 of the gloryG1391 of thisG3778 mysteryG3466 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 is, the mystery that is 13ChristG5547 in you, the 14hopeG1680 of gloryG1391.
28We proclaimG2605 Him, 15admonishingG3560 everyG3956 personG444 and teachingG1321 everyG3956 personG444 16with allG3956 17wisdomG4678, soG2443 thatG2443 we may 18presentG3936 everyG3956 personG444 1920completeG5046 in ChristG5547.
29For thisG3739 purpose I alsoG2532 21laborG2872, 22strivingG75 23accordingG2596 to His 24powerG1753 which 25worksG1754 mightilyG1411 withinG1722 me.
