* I now rejoice in sufferings for you , and fill up the remainder of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh , for his body , which is the congregation ; * of which I am made a minister , according to the dispensation of God , which was given to me on your account , fully to declare the word of God - * the secret which had been kept hid from the ages , and from the generations , but now has been made manifest to his saints ; * to whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles , which is Christ in you , the hope of glory : * whom we announce , admonishing every man , and teaching every man , with all wisdom , that we may present every man perfect in Christ . * For which I also labor , combating vigorously , according to the effectual working of him who works effectually in me with power .
