Colossians 1:22-24

New International Version

²² But now he has reconciled^(A) you by Christ’s physical body^(B) through death to present you^(C) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation^(D)— ²³ if you continue^(E) in your faith, established^(F) and firm, and do not move from the hope^(G) held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven,^(H) and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.^(I)

Paul’s Labor for the Church

²⁴ Now I rejoice^(J) in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions,^(K) for the sake of his body, which is the church.^(L)
