Colossians 1:24

Read in context

Colossians 1:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—

23 if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.

25 I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God,

26 the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints.
