Paul's Ministry to the Church

²⁴ Now ^(A)I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh ^(B)I am filling up ^(C)what is lacking in Christ's afflictions ^(D)for the sake of his body, that is, the church, ^25 (E)of which I became a minister according to ^(F)the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, ^26 (G)the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.

⁷ On the contrary, when they saw that I had been ^(A)entrusted with ^(B)the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised

⁵ so we, ^(A)though many, ^(B)are one body in Christ, and individually ^(C)members one of another. ^6 (D)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if ^(E)prophecy, ^(F)in proportion to our faith;

⁴ Now ^(A)there are varieties of gifts, but ^(B)the same Spirit; ⁵ and ^(C)there are varieties of service, but ^(D)the same Lord; ⁶ and there are varieties of activities, but it is ^(E)the same God who empowers them all in everyone. ^7 (F)To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
