"You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,"
— Colossians 1:21, World English Bible
“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled”
“And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, ”
“Paul’s Goal in Ministry And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,”
“And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:”
“And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one”
“And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled”
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;

You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;
