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

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.

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

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

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

At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting 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 had done, but according to his mercy— through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.He poured out his Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviorso that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sinsin which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient.We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath.For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.

To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience are defiled.They claim to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex with males,no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.And some of you used to be like this. 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, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

The mindset of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so.Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

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

You adulterous people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the friend of the world becomes the enemy of God.
