Colossians 1:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

29 To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
