^(C1)Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh ^(C2)I am supplementing what is lacking ^(F1)in Christ's afflictions in behalf of ^(C3)His body, which is the church.

^(C1)I ^(F1)was made a minister of this church according to the ^(C2)commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might ^(F2)fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

that is, ^(C1)the mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His ^(F1)saints,

to whom ^(C1)God willed to make known what ^(C2)the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is ^(C3)Christ in you, the ^(C4)hope of glory.

We proclaim Him, ^(C1)admonishing every person and teaching every person ^(F1)with all ^(C2)wisdom, so that we may ^(C3)present every person ^(F2)(C4)complete in Christ.

For this purpose I also ^(C1)labor, ^(C2)striving ^(C3)according to His ^(F1)power which ^(F2)works mightily within me.
