Colossians 1:19-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ For in him all the fullness of God^[a] was pleased to dwell, ²⁰ and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.^(A)

²¹ And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, ²² he has now reconciled^[b] in his fleshly body^[c] through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him,^{(B) 23} provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature^[d] under heaven. I, Paul, became a minister of this gospel.^(C)
