²⁷ Now you are ^(A)Christ’s body, and ^(B)individually parts of it.

^12 (A)for the equipping of the ^[a]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of ^(B)the body of Christ;

⁴ For ^(A)just as we have many parts in one body and all ^[a]the body’s parts do not have the same function, ⁵ so we, ^(B)who are many, are ^(C)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

^24 (A)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh ^(B)I am supplementing what is lacking ^[a]in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of ^(C)His body, which is the church. ^25 (D)I ^[b]was made a minister of this church according to the ^(E)commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might ^[c]fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, ²⁶ that is, ^(F)the mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His ^[d]saints, ²⁷ to whom ^(G)God willed to make known what ^(H)the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is ^(I)Christ in you, the ^(J)hope of glory.
