I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of
Christ,
for the sake of His body, which is the
church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,
the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.
Colossians 1:24-26
(NKJV)
