TRANSCRIPT OF MESSAGE #917 - Part 1

BOOK OF COLOSSIANS, AT
(Chapter 1)

The CCK Transcribing and Editing Team.

The Lord tells me that we have reached a climax in our studies. You may have noticed that,
over these last few months at least, the intensity with which the revelation has come down has
been phenomenal. I felt that we were on a race and trying to achieve a particular goal. I did not
know where we were headed, but it was so intense that I had to really make a concerted effort to
contain the revelation that was coming down myself. I do not know where you all are. The Lord
tells me that we reached the climax that we were racing towards. We reached the top of the
mountain. It does not mean that there is no more revelation, but we reached the point that He was
striving to bring us to at this time, and that point is the revelation that there is a second born-
again experience.

The Scripture says He does not do anything unless He tells his prophets first. We are all his
prophets, so I believe that that experience is coming. And it was really, really important that we
knew about it before it happened, or it could have hindered the happening. That is what we were
racing for with all of that intense revelation that has been coming down for the last few months,
this understanding that there is a second born-again experience.

The Lord is directing us to the New Testament. I do not really see any new revelation coming
down at this time, because He is using everything He has taught us to translate, or interpret, the
New Testament in a more understandable manner. There are some very good translations out there.
I told you all I pretty much listen to the New Living Translation every day on my Daily Devotions,
but when I study, I study with the King James. Why is that? Because the New Living Translation
1
amplifies. They do not do it that often, but they do amplify, and they do not tell you that it is an
amplification. In other words, if the word just says he, they could change it to Messiah, something
like that. When I amplify, I put the amplified words in brackets, and when the Amplified Bible
amplifies, they also put it in brackets. But the New Living Testament does not put it in brackets,
so you think that that is exactly what the apostles said, and it is not what the apostles said. The big
issue we are coming up against today is that the New Testament, when it says Christ, or when it
just says he, the whole Church assumes it is Jesus, the Lord Jesus Christ, when it is not. It is
Ancient Adam, the Son of God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and Ancient Adam, the Son of God.
There is an older brother and a younger brother. Ancient Adam is the Son of God and the Word of
God. That is what we are going to be doing primarily. We are going to be translating the New
Testament. I do not know how far this is going to go, but as of now, this is my understanding. In
the near future, we are going to be working in the New Testament, translating it with the
understanding of Kabbalah to render a more perfectly understandable translation for the brethren
who are willing to accept it.

We are translating in the Book of Colossians today, and I hope to do the whole book. I believe
there are four chapters. I have the whole translation of Colossians, Chapter 1 for you today. I will
start with an exhortation on the Alternate Translation, and then we will go back. There are just a
couple of places where the word is different. It is a much easier translation than doing the Old
Testament, but I see the subtleties are very, very profound, and this is a major, major issue at this
time to introduce to the Church the concept of Ancient Adam (Primordial Adam, Adam Kadmon),
and show the many times that the Church thinks the Scripture is talking about the Lord Jesus
Christ, when it is really Ancient Adam. The Lord wants that cleared up.

I cannot blame the Church. I do not know how they could have thought any differently. The
truth of the matter is that, to attribute the creation of the world to Jesus of Nazareth, a man born of
a man and a woman 2,000 years ago, is considered idolatry. The whole Church is in idolatry. The
Church is in a lot of trouble, and the Lord has to get them out of it. However He is going to do it,
our job is to reveal the truth to them as He gives it to us. For some reason, we started with the Book
of Colossians, and I expect to go through, at least, all of the epistles. We will see where we go
from there; we will take it a message at a time.

I want to review the Kabbalah of being born-again, because we are not being born-again. It is
Righteous Adam who is being born-again, and when Righteous Adam is born-again, then he has
to have a baby. It is Righteous Adam that has the baby. You need to understand that. Righteous
Adam, although he is male to us, and he is called male in the Scripture, is androgynous. He is male
and female, so he is capable of reproduction, from that point of view. Adam is to have a child; the
man-child. The woman clothed with the sun (Rev 12:1) is actually the female aspect of Righteous
Adam. It is Righteous Adam manifesting in his female capacity. Adam is to have the child. The
father of the child is Elohim. Adam is the female in relation to Elohim. It is the child that is born
that will save us when we bear that child. We are saved in childbearing; the Church is saved in
childbearing (1 Tim 2:15).

We do have a first born-again experience; we receive the Holy Spirit, and it is a wonderful
experience in our life. It is the birth of a new life; it is a birth of a new aspect of our existing human
life. The second born-again experience is the rebirth of Righteous Adam (called the Second Adam),
2
and that birth is going to change our life radically. Those of us that are already following God, we
have the Spirit. We are led by the Spirit to some degree, and our life is blessed because of our
relationship with God through the Holy Spirit, but when the Second Adam is raised from the dead,
the Second Adam is righteous and holy. I heard a good definition of holiness recently from a
preacher, but I do not remember his name. His definition of holiness is someone who successfully
follows God's laws. That is what makes you holy, if you successfully follow God's laws, and you
can only do that by the Spirit.

When the Second Adam is born in us, we are going to become holy, because he will be our
new self. He will be the primary self. He is going to suppress our sin nature. He is going to suppress
Leviathan and overcome Satan in the unconscious part of our mind. We see that there is a transition
period from the first born-again experience to the second born-again experience, which is a journey
towards holiness. There is no way you are going to have the second born-again experience without
dealing with your sin nature, because when the Second Adam rises, he is going to utterly pulverize
your sin nature, and you will not rise at all, unless you have been doing the best you could all along
of pulverizing your sin nature so that he can rise. Then, when he rises, he finishes the job. He does
not destroy your sin nature, because to destroy your sin nature means to destroy your body. He
will just put him completely underfoot. Will we be actually sinless at that point? I do not know. I
do not think so, because I do not see how you can be sinless when you are in the body of sin. This
is the body of sin.

That is the mystery the Church does not know anything about. How does this second born-
again experience happen to us? That is what I want to review for you. It is Adam that is being born
in us again in his righteous state, because we (humanity) are fallen Adam. Adam was androgynous.
He was male and female. His male aspect, or his male side, was placed in authority over his female
side by Jehovah, so that the man (mankind, Adam) could be in right order for Elohim to join with
him and impregnate him. At the time of the fall, the man had not matured enough to become
impregnated. His lack of maturity meant that his male side was not fully joined to, or integrated
with (I am not sure what the right word is); blended with his female side. They were separate. They
were together in the same place, but they were separate. They had to be fully blended, which
blending would have made Adam a viable female egg that Elohim could have fertilized. Before
the two sides of Adam became firmly blended into an egg, his female side betrayed its own self.
It is like betraying yourself, an example in the world today would be an autoimmune disease.

An autoimmune disease is your own body betraying you; you are attacked by your own cells,
your own antibodies. Adam had an autoimmune disease. He was attacked by his own female side,
which resulted in the death of the male side of Adam in the garden. He died because his female
side married somebody else, and that union produced an offspring, because the material substance
of the creation which forms the body; the material substance of the creation which forms this whole
world, is attached to the female. When she betrayed her male counterpart and married the snake,
she took with her the ability to produce a world (she and the snake produced a world). They
produced a child, which is this world, and humanity is the high point of this world. We are not
mankind anymore. Mankind is androgynous. Humanity is female only.

The female side of Adam joined with the snake and produced a female world which dies from
generation to generation. It is not an immortal world. When the male and female chromosomes
3
were joined into an egg, and that egg was fertilized by Elohim, the offspring of that union would
have been an immortal mankind; an immortal, androgynous man that would have lived forever.
There was an accident. Humanity is an accident, and Adam is the man who died and became us,
the female humanity. Humanity is the First Adam in a fallen, corrupted state. Actually, we are the
First Adam in adultery with the snake.

We found out that the snake is Sophia, the aspect of wisdom that is very high. As I understand
it, the only one higher than Sophia is Primordial Adam. She separated from Ancient Adam and is
in competition with Binah, the Mother of the God World of Atzilut, who brought forth Adam
HaRishon, which is the Hebrew word for Adam that Jehovah put in the garden. Sophia, who is
actually in a higher spiritual plane than Binah, the Mother of the God World of Atzilut, brought
forth Adam HaRishon in the World of Creation, underneath the God World of Atzilut. Sophia was
present, because before time began, everything was there in the same place.

There was a competition between Sophia and the wisdom of Ancient Adam, the Malkhut of a
higher world than Atzilut; a world that existed before Atzilut. Sophia is more ancient than Binah
of the God World of Atzilut. The two women are fighting over the child. We read about that in
Solomon's judgment in 1 Kings (1 Kings 3:16-28). Both women are claiming the child is theirs,
and Sophia is saying that Binah, because she is attached to Jehovah, can give this child (this whole
creation, but primarily humanity) eternal life. Sophia is saying to Binah, I will see that child dead
before you have her, and that is where we are right now.

The female aspect of Adam in the garden joined with Sophia, the snake. Humanity and the
whole world that we are a part of (which is our environment) is the child, which is the whole world
that the female aspect of Adam brought into existence through her adultery and her transgression.
The Lord made another start. He created Atzilut, and He raised up Binah of the God World of
Atzilut. The creation that Binah was bringing forth was stolen. Not only did the woman commit
adultery, but after that, God raised up Atzilut, and Binah was bringing forth Adam HaRishon in
the World of Creation under the World of Atzilut, and then Adam was corrupted.

Jehovah has been working ever since that fall to restore the masculine element to the fallen
woman. Jehovah is the authority, but the woman, the one that does the action, is the Shekinah. His
inner female dimension is like the female lioness; she is the one that carries out His will. She has
been trying to join with the fallen woman, who is in an ongoing act of spiritual sexual intercourse
with the snake, Sophia. He has been trying to join the male element to humanity. Who is the male
element? When the female aspect of Adam joined with the snake, the male element, which is
Jehovah's breath, went back into potential. It went back into the womb of Binah. Binah, the Mother,
has the seed. The Mother carries the seed of the Father. Ever since the fall, Binah has been trying
to impart that seed to the First Adam, but every time Binah tries, Satan and Leviathan kill the seed
or kill the person that carries the seed. The bottom line is that due to a special plan, God raised up
Israel, and out of Israel He raised up and glorified Jesus, and now Christ Jesus is the only mediator
between God and man (1 Tim 2:5).

Sometimes the Scripture says we are saved by His blood, and sometimes it says we are saved
by His Spirit. His blood is His soul, and depending on the message God is giving us, the Scripture
4
either says we are saved by His Spirit or we are saved by His soul. That is an interesting point that
will come up in the exhortation.

This is what is happening: The Lord Jesus Christ sends forth the Holy Spirit with the seed that
pierces our human spirit, and that is the new female seed, because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself
is female. The seed that He delivers to us is the female chromosome of the female seed. Then we
have to get the male chromosome with the female seed to become the whole Adam. You will see
that the whole Adam is a significant symbol is Colossians, Chapter 1. Who is the whole Adam?
The whole Adam is the First Adam and the Second Adam together. The First Adam is the female
side only, and the Second Adam is the male side. Together you have the male and female Adam,
which raises the androgynous Adam from the dead. The whole Adam is the androgynous Adam,
which is male and female, and that is the whole Adam. We are not the whole Adam. We are the
female side, or the female chromosome, of the Adam who was in the garden, but we are not just
the female chromosome. We are in sin; we are in transgression because we are joined to Sophia
instead of Imma, Binah of Atzilut. We are joined to the wrong one.

You say, Pastor Sheila, what do you mean, we are joined to a woman? I thought we had to
be joined to a man. Everything is opposite in the Scripture. Incest is legal in the Scripture. We are
the female chromosome of the female side of the creation, and it is Shekinah, the female aspect of
Jehovah, who carries the male seed. She carries the seed in humanity. It takes a man to deliver the
seed to the woman in the spiritual world. It is the woman who carries the seed of the male to the
woman. If you cannot get that, you need to go back to square one.

We receive the female chromosome of the female seed through the Holy Spirit, and there are
two ways you can get the male chromosome. Either you have inherited it through the genome,
meaning that the soul you are an incarnation of was present at Mount Sinai when Jehovah imparted
that male chromosome, or you can get it from someone who is preaching, who has that male
chromosome, like me. You can get it through the spirit of the words that I preach to you, if God
wills it to happen to you.

The process we have discussed so far is that the goal of the male and female chromosome is
to make them one, to blend them, and that is not so easy, because the female chromosome of the
First Adam is warring against the male chromosome of the Second Adam. When you get the male
chromosome, either by inheritance or through me, that is the male chromosome of the female seed
of the Second Adam. The female chromosome of the First Adam is still present in the individual.
When the male chromosome of the Second Adam tries to join with the female chromosome that
you receive through the Holy Spirit, there is a warfare, an opposition that rises up from Satan and
Leviathan in the very individual where that union is trying to take place.

We will take, as an example, a person who is the First Adam, who is all female, no longer
androgynous, and in sin, she is married to Sophia, and Sophia is manifesting. We have a human
being who has a carnal mind, an old man, and we have the female chromosome of the female seed
of the Second Adam, and that is bad enough, if she can, she will try to stop you from serving God.
She will try to stop you from believing in Jesus. Who? The existing carnal mind, the female side
of the First Adam joined to Sophia, the snake. They are Satan and Leviathan.

5
Then, when the male chromosome of the Second Adam tries to join with the female
chromosome that we receive through the Holy Spirit, there is a big war. Satan and Leviathan does
not want that union to take place, but when the believer overcomes, and the male and female
chromosome join, then the male and female chromosome, as one unit, burn with fire the female
and male chromosome of the First Adam. The burning is first, and it becomes a lump of coal, and
the incense comes down. It is a continuous burning, because as long as we are in this body, the
First Adam exists.

So, what has happened to us? The person that has this experience has become a viable female
egg, with the warlike elements of the First Adam completely underfoot, as a continuous burning.
The warlike elements of the First Adam have become a lump of coal that is continuously burning
from the incense, and it is the viable female egg of the Second Adam that is burning it. The person
that has this experience is now ready to be impregnated by Elohim, who has the male seed.

There is a male and female side that produces a viable female egg. That is what we are fighting
to achieve right now, and it involves the burning of our sin nature. If you are not burning your sin
nature, you do not have it. If you are burning your sin nature, God will tell you whether the male
and female chromosome have blended and become a viable egg. Are you capable of becoming
impregnated with the man-child? That is what we are striving for right now. It appears that I may
be in that condition. What we are hoping for is that the next step will happen to me first, and then
to all of you.

The next step we are hoping will happen is that Elohim, who carries the male seed, will come
down and join with the female seed in me, and then there has to be a birth. A whole new creature
is coming into existence called the man-child, and we read about it in the Book of Revelation,
Chapter 12; it is called the calf. If you look up the word calf (I think it is translated calf in the King
James), it means something that has been born. It is different than the ox of Ezekiel's four-sided
man. It is something that has been born.

We are all thinking that we have been born-again, we have all had this experience, and we not
only have not had this experience of the new birth, but we are striving to become a viable female
egg who can become impregnated. When the Second Adam in us, that will be impregnated by
Elohim, gives birth to that man-child, it will change us forever. I do not have all the details, but
we will become very spiritually powerful. We will have miracle-working power; certainly we will
have miracle-working power to heal and deliver. What our role will be in dealing with the evil
elements of this world, I still do not fully understand, but what is going to happen is going to be
different than what happened with Jesus. I believe Jesus gave birth to the man-child. He had
miracle-working power.

I do not know how to distinguish between the pregnant Second Adam and the Second Adam
that has already had the child. Either there is no separation between the impregnation or the birth,
either in God it is an instant thing, or if it is not an instant thing, I do not know how to separate the
two. We know how to recognize the child, and I am thinking of the Scripture that says, And she
gave birth to a child, and he was caught up to God's throne (Rev 12:5). There are two steps, and
I do not know how to recognize the impregnation. The caught up to God's throne means spiritual
6
authority, the spiritual authority of the Second Adam, but I do not know how to recognize the
impregnated Second Adam.

That is where we are right now. To be born-again means that a whole new creature will be
born in us, and that experience will largely nullify our human life. I am largely led by the Spirit,
but I am still so very human. I just really am. I do not know what the experience will be, but the
life of the person will be completely given over to God, much more so than the way I describe my
life to you now. I do not even understand it fully myself, but it will be the full power of God.

We are the house for the child that is being born. We are the womb that the child is being born
in, and He will be totally the preeminent one. All I know is that we will be happy. To the carnal
mind, it sounds terrible that our life will become next to nothing, because we must decrease so that
He can increase (John 3:30), but our consciousness will be with Him. It is going to be us, if you
can hear this: our consciousness is being born as this man-child. It is not that the man-child is being
born and we are back here, pushed to the background. Our consciousness will be incarnate in, or
a part of, this man-child. Our consciousness will be included in the new birth, so we will be
experiencing the positive aspect of that man-child, and the part of us that will be pushed to the
background will be the First Adam, which, at that point, will no longer be in adultery. The First
Adam will be the skin of the Second Adam. The Second Adam is the spiritual man. The First
Adam is the skin of the Second Adam, and not significant. That is the behemah. But the
consciousness of the behemah will be included in the man-child. That is the privilege that we are
given the opportunity to have through Christ, to not be relegated to be a beast while there is a
higher entity in us, living through us, but that our consciousness should actually be a co-heir to the
soul of the new birth, and just our skin, just our flesh, will continue to be the house.

What will we lose? We will lose our lust; the lust of the flesh. We will be able to eat because
Jesus ate after He was glorified, but the fact that we can eat does not mean that we will need to eat,
because when the body is inhabited by the life of the man-child (which is a true eternal life); when
a truly alive spiritual being is the permanent inhabitant of our house, that inhabitant will provide
every need to the house. We read about that in the Book of Revelation. It talks about the New
Jerusalem, the Holy City (Rev 21:2), that there will be no light there because the Lamb will be the
light thereof. The Lamb is the creature that is born-again, the new birth. Because the Lamb will be
the light, there will be no light there (Rev 21:23).

I do not know what is going to happen to this world, but the Scripture says we will not even
need the light of the sun, moon and the stars, because everything that we could possibly need is
going to be inside of us. Right now, everything that we need is outside of us; everything: food,
water, love, affection, companionship. We need another person; everything is moving inside of us
in the person of the new birth, so there is going to be a radical difference.

I not sure again what the difference of the symptoms are between the conception and the birth,
or how long a period of time there is between the conception and the birth. I think I must have
conceived Christ because the Lord is advertising; He is making known the second birth. You have
to be pregnant before you can give birth, so unless the impregnation is coincidental with the birth
(which I do not think it is, because in the Book of Revelation, it says, The child was born, and
7
then he was caught up to his throne, or caught up to power), I have no way of knowing that I am
impregnated, other than the Lord is announcing the actual birth, which is the catching up to power.

I hope I did not confuse you. I would like to have given that exhortation a little more smoothly,
but I have questions in my mind, and that means we will probably be doing it again in the future,
until I really have everything worked out in my own mind.

If nobody has any questions, we are going to take a look at the Book of Colossians, and try to
understand Colossians from the point of knowledge the Lord has taught us: that Jesus was born
2,000 years ago, that He was born of a man and a woman, and He was an incarnation of Elijah.
Elijah incarnated in Him, and Jesus overcame his fallen soul by the power of holiness that was
given to Him through the mediator, Elijah, and His soul was saved. Jesus' soul was saved, and His
Spirit was saved. His body turned to dust, because when His nefesh was pulled out of the bones of
His body, the body turned to dust. The fact that a human person leaves a corpse behind means that
the nefesh soul remained in the bones. Something spiritual remained in the body for the body to
keep a form, which is the corpse. When everything that is spiritual is removed from the flesh, the
flesh turns to dust. Jesus' body turned to dust. His Spirit was raised and His soul was raised. His
neshamah soul was saved, and His nefesh soul, the soul of the body, was saved also.

COMMENT: Sheila, this is XXXX. I did have a question about being born-again. You
mentioned something about we still sin because we are still in this body state. The Scripture talks
about the fact that we will get a new body as well, so my question is, when does that take place?

PASTOR VITALE: The new body is for the glorified man, and I do not think that will happen
until the eighth millennium. There are seven 1,000-year days; each 1000-year day is called a
millennium, and we are in the sixth millennium right now. We have approximately 230 (or some
odd) years to go to the end of this millennium, this sixth 1,000-year day. At that point, we will
begin the seventh 1,000-year day. That is what longevity is all about, because immortality is not
available to anybody until the seventh millennium. For those of us that go into longevity, the
purpose of longevity is to keep us alive until immortality becomes available in the seventh
millennium, and then we will live for 1,000 years, helping the other human beings on the face of
the earth be converted into the Second Adam. At the end of the seventh millennium, and the onset
of the eighth millennium, that is the day of circumcision. According to the Levitical law, the male
child is circumcised on the eighth day, so those of us that go into longevity will be in this flesh for
more than 1,200 years, but our sin nature will be greatly weakened. We will not be in the state that
we are in now. Once the Second Adam is born in us, our sin nature will be greatly weakened, and
we will spend 1,000 years helping humanity to experience what we experienced, and at the end of
the seventh millennium, and the beginning of the eighth millennium, the physical body, the
material body, will be circumcised, cut away from us. So, we have at least 1,200 years to go before
that happens.

COMMENT: OK, thank you.

PASTOR VITALE: You are welcome.

COMMENT: Rose had a comment. She said, My thought is that there should be some
physical sign that there is a pregnancy, like in the natural.

PASTOR VITALE: You are probably right. I just do not know what it is. I know that, for
pregnancy in the natural, usually you find out you are pregnant because you start vomiting. That
is really very interesting, what I just said. In the natural, one of the typical signs is that you become
sick to your stomach and you vomit, and that is one of the signs of receiving deliverance, so maybe
the sign you are pregnant is that you start receiving deliverance, but I do not know.

That is very interesting, Rose. If the sign that we are pregnant is that we start getting
deliverance, I just really have to pray about that, because I have been saying all along that in New
Order deliverance, the Lord does not really start showing you the sins of your heart, the sins of
your mind that you do not even know you are committing, until Christ is present in you, because
you would not survive. There is just no point in showing you the sins of the First Adam if the
Second Adam is not ready to take his place. Maybe that is the pregnancy. I really have to think
about it.

Let us take a look at the Book of Colossians. I will read you the King James, and then I would
like to do an exhortation on the Alternate Translation. Then we can go back, and I will show you
the few interesting challenges, which are not very many. Compared to what we have experienced
with the Old Testament, not many explanations necessary for the change of the word.

Colossians 1:1-29

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto
you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always
for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all
the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the
word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth
also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful
minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom
and spiritual understanding;
9
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience
and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all
things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in
heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature
which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the
afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is
given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now
is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom;
