Paul’s Suffering and Stewardship

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings on behalf of you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking of the afflictions of Christ, on behalf of his body which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister, according to God's stewardship which was given to me for you, to complete the word of God, 26 the mystery [which] has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been revealed to his saints, 27 to whom God wanted to make known what [is] the glorious wealth of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, 28 whom we proclaim, [by]^a admonishing every person^b and teaching every person^c with all wisdom, in order that we may present every person^d mature in Christ, 29 for which [purpose] also I labor, striving according to his working which is at work powerfully in me.
