Colossians 1:21-23

New Testament for Everyone

Reconciled and firm in faith

²¹ So what about you? Well, there was a time when you were excluded! You were enemies in your thinking, and in wicked behavior. ²² But now he has reconciled you in the body of his flesh, through death, in order to bring you into his presence holy, blameless and without any accusation.

²³ This assumes, of course, that you keep firmly on in the faith—by which I mean, solid on your foundations, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard. This gospel, after all, has been announced in all creation under heaven! And this is the gospel of which I, Paul, became a servant.
