And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,

你们从前与神隔绝，因着恶行，心里与他为敌。

从前你们与上帝隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶；

从前你们与神隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶；

你们从前与上帝隔绝，行事邪恶，心思意念与祂为敌；

虽然你们从前也是和神隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶，

从前，你们在邪恶的行为中与神隔绝，在意念中与他为敌；

你們從前與神隔絕，因着惡行，心裏與他為敵。

從前你們與上帝隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡；

從前你們與神隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡；

你們從前與上帝隔絕，行事邪惡，心思意念與祂為敵；

雖然你們從前也是和神隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡，

你們呢、你們素來在心神上因邪惡的行為被隔絕而做仇敵的、

從前，你們在邪惡的行為中與神隔絕，在意念中與他為敵；

夫爾素以惡行、為異為敵於心、

爾素行惡、厥心悖逆、不附上帝、

爾素遠離、因爾行惡、心中與之為敵、

爾等前因惡業向與天主睽隔；

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.

At one time you were separated from God. You were enemies in your minds because of your evil ways.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.

Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds as expressed in your evil actions.

And although you were previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds,

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in[ your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

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

that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.But“ when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior.And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.”

They are darkened in their understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.

And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins,in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience,among whom all of us also formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest…

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals,thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents,

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever decides to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy.
