* 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 . * 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 ; * that secret truth , which , although hidden from ages and generations of old , has now been made manifest to his saints . * 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 ." * 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 . * For that end I am ever toiling , wrestling with all that energy of his which is mightily at work within me .
