| 1 | Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, |
| 25 | of which I became a minister according to the divine office which was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, |
| 26 | the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints. |
| 27 | To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. |
| 28 | Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man mature in Christ. |
| 29 | For this I toil, striving with all the energy which he mightily inspires within me. |
