19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulnesse dwell, 20And (hauing made peace through the blood of his crosse) by him to reconcile all things vnto himself, by him, I say, whether they bee things in earth, or things in heauen. 21And you that were sometimes alienated, and enemies in your minde by wicked workes, yet now hath hee reconciled, 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy & vnblameable, and vnreprooueable in his sight, 23If ye continue in the faith grounded and setled, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospel, which yee haue heard, and which was preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, whereof I Paul am made a Minister.

People's Bible Notes for Colossians 1:21
Col 1:21 You, that were sometime alienated. In a state of estrangement before conversion. Enemies in [your] mind by wicked works. Hostile on account of wicked works. A wicked life will fill a man with hostile thoughts to God. Yet now hath he reconciled. Christ has changed them by the gospel to that they are enemies no longer. God needs no change. The change must be wrought in man.
