Colossians 1:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ And through ·Christ [^Lhim], God has ·brought all things back to himself again [^Lreconciled all things to himself]—things on earth and things in heaven. ·God made [^L…by making] peace through the blood of ·Christ’s death on the cross [^Lhis cross].

²¹ At one time you were ·separated [alienated; estranged] from God. You were his enemies in your minds, ·and the evil things you did were against God [or because of your evil deeds]. ²² But now God has ·made you his friends again [reconciled you] through Christ’s death in ·the body [his physical body; ^Lthe body of his flesh], so that he might bring you into God’s presence as people who are holy, ·with no wrong [without blemish; ^Cas were sacrificial animals], and ·with nothing of which God can judge you guilty [blameless; innocent; free of accusation].
