^11 (A)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,^[a] free; but Christ is ^(B)all, and in all.

²⁷ For as many of you as ^(A)were baptized ^(B)into Christ have ^(C)put on Christ. ^28 (D)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave^[a] nor free, ^(E)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And ^(F)if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, ^(G)heirs according to promise.

¹⁶ From now on, therefore, ^(A)we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is ^(B)in Christ, he is ^(C)a new creation.^{[a] (D)}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ¹⁸ All this is from God, ^(E)who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us ^(F)the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ that is, in Christ God was reconciling^[b] the world to himself, ^(G)not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us ^(H)the message of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore, ^(I)we are ambassadors for Christ, ^(J)God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. ^21 (K)For our sake he made him to be sin ^(L)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^(M)the righteousness of God.

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

^21 (F)And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, ^(G)doing evil deeds, ²² he has now reconciled ^(H)in his body of flesh by his death, ^(I)in order to present you holy and blameless and ^(J)above reproach before him, ^23 (K)if indeed you continue in the faith, ^(L)stable and steadfast, not shifting from ^(M)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ^(N)in all creation^[a] under heaven, ^(O)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

^7 (A)In him we have ^(B)redemption ^(C)through his blood, ^(D)the forgiveness of our trespasses, ^(E)according to the riches of his grace, ⁸ which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight ^9 (F)making known^[a] to us the mystery of his will, ^(G)according to his purpose, which he ^(H)set forth in Christ^{[b] 10} as a plan for ^(I)the fullness of time, ^(J)to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him.
