^7 (A)of which I became a minister ^(B)according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by ^(C)the effective working of His power.

¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, ^(A)according to the working of His mighty power

²⁰ Now ^(A)to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly ^(B)above all that we ask or think, ^(C)according to the power that works in us,

² if indeed you have heard of the ^[a]dispensation of the grace of God ^(A)which was given to me for you,

⁶ who also made us sufficient as ^(A)ministers of ^(B)the new covenant, not ^(C)of the letter but of the ^[a]Spirit; for ^(D)the letter kills, ^(E)but the Spirit gives life.

²¹ make you ^[a]complete in every good work to do His will, ^(A)working in ^[b]you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

²³ if indeed you continue ^(A)in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are ^(B)not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, ^(C)which was preached to every creature under heaven, ^(D)of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Sacrificial Service for Christ

^24 (E)I now rejoice in my sufferings ^(F)for you, and fill up in my flesh ^(G)what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for ^(H)the sake of His body, which is the church, ²⁵ of which I became a minister according to ^(I)the ^[a]stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

Their Conversion

¹³ For this reason we also thank God ^(A)without ceasing, because when you ^(B)received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it ^(C)not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively ^(D)works in you who believe.

²⁹ To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me ^(A)mightily.
