Colossians 1:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Indeed, You Yourselves Were Reconciled By Him
21 Indeed you were formerly being excluded, and were enemies[a] in the mind in-connection-with evil works. 22 But now He reconciled you in the body of His flesh[b] through His death, that He might present you holy and without-blemish and blameless in His presence— 23 if indeed[c] you continue in the faith, having been founded, and steadfast, and not being moved-away from the hope of the good-news which you heard, the one having been proclaimed in[d] all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister[e].
