the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for
ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them
God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this
mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end
I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.
