God’s Word Translation
Colossians 1:18-22
18He is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, the first to come back to life so that he would have first place in everything.
19God was pleased to have all of himself live in Christ.
20God was also pleased to bring everything on earth and in heaven back to himself through Christ. He did this by making peace through Christ’s blood sacrificed on the cross.
21Once you were separated from God. The evil things you did showed your hostile attitude.
22But now Christ has brought you back to God by dying in his physical body. He did this so that you could come into God’s presence without sin, fault, or blame.
