\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.\u201d\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n

\n21 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
\n23 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
