Colossians 1:24-29
Jubilee Bible 2000
24 who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fulfill in my flesh that which is lacking of the tribulations of the Christ for his body’s sake, which is the congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}
25 of which I am made a minister by the dispensation of God which is given to me in you, to fulfil the word of God,
26 even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints,
27 to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery in the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,
28 whom we preach, warning every man and teaching in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,
29 in which I continue to labour, contending according to his operation, which he works in me mightily.

Paul’s Labor for the Church
24 Now I rejoice(A) in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,(B) for the sake of his body, which is the church.(C) 25 I have become its servant(D) by the commission God gave me(E) to present to you the word of God(F) in its fullness— 26 the mystery(G) that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known(H) among the Gentiles the glorious riches(I) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,(J) the hope of glory.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing(K) and teaching everyone with all wisdom,(L) so that we may present everyone fully mature(M) in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously(N) contend(O) with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.(P)
