21 And although you were (A)formerly alienated and enemies in mind and in evil deeds, 22 but now He (B)reconciled you in the (C)body of His flesh through death, in order to (D)present you before Him (E)holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 23 if indeed you continue in [a]the faith firmly (F)grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the (G)hope of the gospel, which you have heard, which was proclaimed (H)in all creation under heaven, (I)and of which I, Paul, [b]was made a [c](J)minister.

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.
