Colossians 1:24-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁴and now I have joy in passion for you, and I fill those things that fail of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, that is the church. [the which now I have joy in passions for you, and full-fill those things that fail of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, that is the church.]

²⁵Of which I Paul am made [a] minister by the dispensation of God, that is given to me in you, that I fill the word of God,^[a]

²⁶the private [the mystery, or private], that was hid from worlds and generations. But now it is showed to his saints,

²⁷to whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this sacrament in heathen men, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

²⁸Whom we show, reproving each man, and teaching each man in all wisdom, that we offer each man perfect in Christ Jesus.
