Colossians 1:28

Paul’s Suffering for the Church

27To 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. 28We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.29To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
