Colossians 1:25-29 I became its servant as God commissioned me to work for you, so that I may complete my ministry of the word of God.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ I became its servant as God commissioned me to work for you, so that I may complete my ministry of the word of God. ²⁶ This secret was hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God wanted to make known the glorious riches of this secret among the gentiles—which is the Messiah in you, our glorious hope. ²⁸ It is he whom we proclaim as we admonish and wisely teach everyone, so that we may present everyone mature in the Messiah. ²⁹ I work hard and struggle to do this, using the energy that he powerfully provides in me.
