21 And although you were once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

22 yet he has now reconciled you in his fleshly body through death, in order to present you before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach

23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a minister.
