²⁵ I became a ·servant [minister] of the church because God gave me a ·special work to do [stewardship; commission] ·that helps you [^Lfor you], and that work is to ·tell fully [or complete; or preach everywhere; ^Lfulfill] the ·message [word] of God. ²⁶ This message is the ·secret [mystery; ^Csomething God had not previously disclosed; Eph. 1:9] that was hidden from ·everyone since the beginning of time [^Lages and generations], but now it is made known to ·God’s holy people [^Tthe saints]. 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].
