Colossians 1:20-23

20and through Him to 1reconcile all things to Himself, 2whether things on earth or things in 3heaven, having made 4peace through 5the blood of His cross.

21And although you were 6previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds, 22yet He has now 7reconciled you in His 8body of flesh through death, in order to 9present you before Him 10holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- 23if indeed you continue in 11the faith firmly 12established and steadfast, and not shifting from the 13hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed 14in all creation under heaven, 15and of which I, Paul, 16was made a 17 18minister.
