Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Of which I myself became a minister in virtue of the office with which God entrusted me for your benefit, to declare the Message of God in all its fulness-- ²⁶ That Truth which has been hidden from former ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to God's People, ²⁷ To whom it was his pleasure to make known the surpassing glory of that hidden Truth when proclaimed among the Gentiles--'Christ among you! Your Hope of glory!' ²⁸ This is the Christ whom we proclaim, warning every one, and instructing every one, with all the wisdom that we possess, in the hope of bringing every one into God's presence perfected by union with Christ. ²⁹ It is for that I toil, struggling with all the energy which he inspires and which works powerfully within me.
