| Colossians 1:25 | of which *I* became minister, according to the dispensation of God which [is] given me towards you to complete the word of God, | of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God, | Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God, |
| Colossians 1:26 | the mystery which [has been] hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest to his saints; | the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.
