V. 24. to the end. 23 If ye continue grounded and established in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, whereof ye have heard, and which hath been Preached to every creature, which is under heaven, whereof I Paul am a Minister. 24 Now rejoice I in my sufferings for you, and fulfil the rest of the afflictions of CHRIST in my flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church. 25 Whereof I am a Minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is given me unto you-ward, to fulfil the word of God. 26 Which is the mystery hid since the world began, and from all ages, but now is made manifest to his Saints. 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of his glorious mystery among the Gentiles, which riches is CHRIST in you, the hope of glory. 28 Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in CHRIST JESUS. 29 Whereunto I also labour and strive according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
