19. for in him all the fulness of the Godhead was pleased to dwell,
20. and by him to reconcile all things to itself, having made peace by the blood of his cross--by him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
21. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in mind by wicked works, yet now has it reconciled
22. in the body of his flesh through death; to present you holy and unblamable and irreproachable before it,
23. if indeed ye abide in the faith founded and firm, and not moved away from the hope of the glad tidings, which ye have heard, which have been proclaimed in the whole creation which isunder heaven, of which I Paul became minister.
24. Now, I rejoice in sufferings for you, and I fill up that which is behind of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh, for his body, which is the assembly;
25. of which I became minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given me towards you to complete the word of God,
26. the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints;
27. to whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory:
28. whom we announce, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
29. Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working, which works in me in power.
