And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled |
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled. |
And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, |
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. |
And although you at one time were estranged and alienated from Him and of hostile attitude of mind in your wicked activities, |
And you who were at one time those who were in a settled state of alienation, and hostile with respect to your intents in the sphere of your works which were pernicious, yet now He reconciled |
And you yourselves, who were strangers to God, and, in fact, through the evil things you have done, His spiritual enemies, He has now reconciled |
So you, who were once estranged from Him, and hostile in disposition as shown by your wrongdoings, He has now reconciled |
And 2532 you, 5209 that were 5607 sometime 4218 alienated 526 and 2532 enemies 2190 in your mind 1271 by 1722 wicked 4190 works, 2041 yet 1161 now 3570 hath He reconciled 604 |

What is the real story and why is it so vitally important for us to understand Paul’s intent today?
