Colossians 1:21-29

WPNT(i) 21 So now He has reconciled you as well (you who once were alienated and hostile in your mind because of your wicked works), 22 by His physical body through His death, so as to present you before Him holy and blameless and above reproach — 23 if, that is, you continue in the faith established and firm, not drifting away from the hope of the Gospel, that you heard and that was proclaimed in all the creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, became a servant. 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf and supplement in my flesh the things lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the Church, 25 of which I became a servant according to the stewardship from God that was given to me towards you, to complete the Word of God, 26 the mystery that has been hidden from past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints; 27 to whom God resolved to make known who is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the nations, namely Christ in you, the hope of glory; 28 whom we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ. 29 It is to this end that I labor, striving according to His working that works through me with power.
