he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,

Paul's Ministry to the Church

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,

the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
