18 And aHe is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, bthe firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Reconciled in Christ
19 For it pleased the Father that ain Him all the fullness should dwell,
20 and aby Him to reconcile ball things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, chaving made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, awho once were alienated and enemies in your mind bby wicked works, yet now He has creconciled
22 ain the body of His flesh through death, bto present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—
23 if indeed you continue ain the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are bnot moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, cwhich was preached to every creature under heaven, dof which I, Paul, became a minister.
