All things were created through Him and for Him.G3754G1722G846G2936G3956G2936G1722G3772G2532G1909G1093G3707G2532G517G1535G2362G1535G2963G1535G746G1535G1849G3956G2936G1223G846G2532G1519G846 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.G2532G846G2076G4253G3956G2532G1722G846G3956G4921 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.G2532G846G2076G2776G4983G1577G3739G2076G746G4416G1537G3498G2443G1722G3956G846G1096G4409

Reconciled in Christ

19For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,G2106G3754G1722G846G2730G3956G4138G2730 20and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.G2532G1517G1223G129G846G4716G1223G846G604G3956G1519G846G1223G846G1535G1909G1093G1535G1722G3772 21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciledG2532G5209G5607G4218G526G2532G2190G1271G1722G4190G2041G1161G3570G604 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—G1722G4983G846G4561G1223G2288G3936G5209G40G2532G299G2532G410G846G2714 23if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.G1489G1961G4102G2311G2532G1476G2532G3361G3334G575G1680G2098G3739G191G3588G2784G1722G3956G2937G5259G3772G3739G1473G3972G1096G1249

Sacrificial Service for Christ

24I 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,G3739G3568G5463G1722G3450G3804G5228G5216G2532G466G5303G2347G5547G1722G3450G4561G5228G846G4983G5228G3603G1577 25of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,G3739G1473G1096G1249G2596G3622G2316G3588G1325G3427G1519G5209G4137G3056G2316 26the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.G3466G3588G613G575G165G2532G575G1074G1161G3570G5319G846G40 27To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.G3739G2316G2309G1107G5101G4149G1391G5127G3466G1722G1484G3739G2076G5547G1722G5213G1680G1391 28Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.G3739G2249G2605G3560G3956G444G2532G1321G3956G444G1722G3956G4678G2443G3936G3956G444G5046G1722G5547G2424 29To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.G1519G3739G2872G2532G2872G75G2596G846G1753G3588G1754G1722G1698G1722G1411
