21 Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds as expressed in your evil actions. 22 But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through his death,(A) to present you holy, faultless,(B) and blameless before him(C)— 23 if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith(D) and are not shifted away from the hope(E) of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation(F) under heaven,(G) and I, Paul,(H) have become a servant of it.

International Standard Version
21 You who were once alienated with a hostile attitude, doing evil,[a] 22 he has now reconciled by the death of his physical body, so that he may present you holy, blameless, and without fault before him. 23 However, you must remain firmly established and steadfast in the faith, without being moved from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.[b]
