Colossians 1:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ God ·decided [chose; willed] to let his people know this rich and glorious ·secret [mystery; 1:26] which he has for ·all people [the nations/Gentiles]. This ·secret [mystery] is ·that Christ lives in you. He is our only hope for glory [^LChrist in you, the hope of glory]. ²⁸ So we continue to ·preach [proclaim; announce] Christ to each person, using all wisdom to ·warn [instruct; admonish] and to teach everyone, in order to bring each one into God’s presence as a mature person in Christ. ²⁹ To do this, I ·work [toil; labor] and struggle, using ·Christ’s [^Lhis] great strength that works so powerfully in me.
