Colossians 1:21-27 (New American Standard)
21
And although you were 1formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,
22
yet He has now 2reconciled you in His fleshly 3body through death, in order to 4present you before Him 5holy and blameless and beyond reproach -
23
if indeed you continue in athe faith firmly 6established and steadfast, and not moved away from the 7hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed 8in all creation under heaven, 9and of which I, Paul, bwas made a c10minister.
24
11Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh 12I ddo my share on behalf of 13His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking ein Christ's afflictions.
25
14Of this church I fwas made a minister according to the 15stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might gfully carry out the preaching of the word of God,
26
that is, 16the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His hsaints,
27
to whom 17God willed to make known what is 18the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is 19Christ in you, the 20hope of glory.
