New King James Version NKJV
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
19
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
20
and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
21
And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight--
22
he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him—
23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
23
provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel.
