mnt - Colossians:1:24-2:5

mnt@Colossians:1:24 @ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings on your behalf; and I am filling up in my own body what is yet lacking of the sufferings of Christ in behalf of the church, his Body.

mnt@Colossians:1:25 @ It is of this I was made a minister, according to the stewardship entrusted to me by God for you, fully to declare Gods message;

mnt@Colossians:1:26 @ that secret truth, which, although hidden from ages and generations of old, has now been made manifest to his saints.

mnt@Colossians:1:27 @ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

mnt@Colossians:1:28 @ Him I am ever proclaiming, warning every one and teaching every one, in all wisdom; that I may bring every man into his presence, full grown in Christ.

mnt@Colossians:1:29 @ For that end I am ever toiling, wrestling with all that energy of his which is mightily at work within me.

mnt@Colossians:2:1 @ For I would have you know how great a contest I am waging for you and the brethren in Laodicea, and for all who have never seen my face.

mnt@Colossians:2:2 @ May their hearts be comforted! May they be knit together in love! May they gain in all its riches the full assurance of their understanding! May they come to a perfect knowledge of the secret truth of God, which is Christ himself.

mnt@Colossians:2:3 @ In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge!

mnt@Colossians:2:4 @ And this I say, lest any one should mislead you with enticing words.

mnt@Colossians:2:5 @ For though I am absent from you in body, I am with you in spirit, happy to note your discipline and the solid front of your faith in Christ.
