20 and through Him to reconcile
everything to Himself
by making peace(A)
through the blood(B) of His cross[a](C)
whether things on earth or things in heaven.

21 Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions. 22 But now He has reconciled you by His physical body[b] through His death,(D) to present you holy, faultless,(E) and blameless before Him(F) 23 if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith(G) and are not shifted away from the hope(H) of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation(I) under heaven,(J) and I, Paul,(K) have become a servant of it.
