20: and_G2532 by_G1223 Him_G0846 to reconcile_G0604 -_G3588 all things_G3956 to_G1519 Himself,_G0846 having made peace_G1517 by_G1223 the_G3588 blood_G0129 of the_G3588 cross_G4716 of Him,_G0846 through_G1223 Him,_G0846 whether_G1535 the things_G3588 on_G1909 the_G3588 earth,_G1093 or_G1535 the things_G3588 in_G1722 the_G3588 heavens._G3772

21: And_G2532 you,_G4771 once_G4218 being_G1510 alienated_G0526 and_G2532 hostile_G2190 -_G3588 in mind_G1271 in_G1722 the_G3588 deeds_G2041 -_G3588 evil,_G4190

22: now_G3570 however_G1161 He has reconciled [You]_G0604 in_G1722 the_G3588 body_G4983 of the_G3588 flesh_G4561 of Him_G0846 through_G1223 -_G3588 death,_G2288 to present_G3936 you_G4771 holy_G0040 and_G2532 unblemished_G0299 and_G2532 blameless_G0410 before_G2714 Him,_G0846

23: if_G1487 indeed_G1065 you continue_G1961 -_G3588 in the faith,_G4102 established_G2311 and_G2532 firm,_G1476 and_G2532 not_G3361 being moved away_G3334 from_G0575 the_G3588 hope_G1680 of the_G3588 gospel_G2098 that_G3739 you have heard,_G0191 -_G3588 having been proclaimed_G2784 in_G1722 all_G3956 creation_G2937 -_G3588 under_G5259 -_G3588 heaven,_G3772 of which_G3739 have become_G1096 I_G1473 Paul_G3972 a minister._G1249

24: Now_G3568 I rejoice_G5463 in_G1722 the_G3588 sufferings_G3804 for_G5228 you,_G4771 and_G2532 I am filling up_G0466 that which_G3588 is lacking_G5303 of the_G3588 tribulations_G2347 -_G3588 of Christ_G5547 in_G1722 the_G3588 flesh_G4561 of me_G1473 for_G5228 the_G3588 body_G4983 of Him_G0846 which_G3739 is_G1510 the_G3588 church,_G1577

25: of which_G3739 became_G1096 I_G1473 a minister,_G1249 according to_G2596 the_G3588 administration_G3622 -_G3588 of God_G2316 -_G3588 having been given_G1325 me_G1473 toward_G1519 you,_G4771 to complete_G4137 the_G3588 word_G3056 -_G3588 of God,_G2316

26: the_G3588 mystery_G3466 -_G3588 having been hidden_G0613 from_G0575 the_G3588 ages_G0165 and_G2532 from_G0575 the_G3588 generations,_G1074 now_G3568 however_G1161 having been manifested_G5319 to the_G3588 saints_G0040 of Him,_G0846

27: to whom_G3739 has willed_G2309 -_G3588 God_G2316 to make known_G1107 what [is]_G5101 the_G3588 riches_G4149 of the_G3588 glory_G1391 of the_G3588 mystery_G3466 this_G3778 among_G1722 the_G3588 Gentiles,_G1484 which_G3739 is_G1510 Christ_G5547 in_G1722 you,_G4771 the_G3588 hope_G1680 -_G3588 of glory,_G1391

28: whom_G3739 we_G1473 preach,_G2605 admonishing_G3560 every_G3956 man_G0444 and_G2532 teaching_G1321 every_G3956 man_G0444 in_G1722 all_G3956 wisdom,_G4678 so that_G2443 we may present_G3936 every_G3956 man_G0444 perfect_G5046 in_G1722 Christ._G5547
