¹⁶ and might ^(A)reconcile them both in ^(B)one body to God through the cross, ^[a]by it having ^(C)put to death the enmity.

²¹ And although you were ^(A)formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, ²² yet He has now ^(B)reconciled you in His fleshly ^(C)body through death, in order to ^(D)present you before Him ^(E)holy and blameless and beyond reproach— ²³ if indeed you continue in ^[a]the faith firmly ^(F)established and steadfast, and not moved away from the ^(G)hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed ^(H)in all creation under heaven, ^(I)and of which I, Paul, ^[b]was made a ^[c](J)minister.

^24 (K)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh ^(L)I ^[d]do my share on behalf of ^(M)His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking ^[e]in Christ’s afflictions. ^25 (N)Of this church I ^[f]was made a minister according to the ^(O)stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might ^[g]fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, ²⁶ that is, ^(P)the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His ^[h]saints, ²⁷ to whom ^(Q)God willed to make known what is ^(R)the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is ^(S)Christ in you, the ^(T)hope of glory. ²⁸ We proclaim Him, ^(U)admonishing every man and teaching every man ^[i]with all ^(V)wisdom, so that we may ^(W)present every man ^[j](X)complete in Christ. ²⁹ For this purpose also I ^(Y)labor, ^(Z)striving ^(AA)according to His ^[k]power, which ^[l]mightily works within me.
