Colossians 1:24 in Context — Colossians 1

22 no seu corpo de carne, pela morte, para vos apresentar diante dele santos, irrepreensíveis e inculpáveis;

23 se, de fato, permaneceis fundados e firmes na fé, e não vos afastais da esperança do evangelho que ouvistes, que é pregado a toda criatura que há abaixo do céu, e do qual eu, Paulo, fui feito servidor.

24 Agora me alegro nos meus sofrimentos por vós, e cumpro na minha carne o restante das aflições de Cristo, em benefício do seu corpo, que é a Igreja.

25 Dela eu fui feito servidor segundo a responsabilidade da parte de Deus que me foi dada para o vosso benefício, a fim de cumprir a palavra de Deus,

26 o mistério que estava oculto desde os princípios dos tempos e das gerações; mas agora foi manifesto aos seus santos.
