Colossians 1:24-27

I rejoice in what was suffered for you, for I am completing and sharing in the suffering of Christ on behalf of his body, which is the church. I was given a stewardship from God, and made a servant for your benefit, in order to fulfill the Word of God. This message was kept secret for centuries and generations, but now it has been revealed to the saints. It is to them that God has chosen to make the glory of his riches known among the Gentiles. And the mystery is this: Christ is in you and the hope of glory.
