Colossians 1:24-29

Tree of Life Version

The Mystery Revealed

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and in my physical body—for the sake of His body, Messiah’s community—I fill up what is lacking in the afflictions of Messiah. ²⁵ I became its servant according to God’s commission, given to me for you, in order to declare His message in full— ²⁶ the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His kedoshim. ²⁷ God chose to make known to them this glorious mystery regarding the Gentiles—which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory! ²⁸ We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present every person complete^[a] in Messiah. ²⁹ To this end I labor, striving with all His strength which is powerfully at work in me.
