And you, that were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he reconciled
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:21 Go To Colossians 1
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
And for this cause the apostle, in the Epistle to the Colossians, says, "And though ye were formerly alienated, and enemies to His knowledge by evil works, yet now ye have been reconciled in the body of His flesh, through His death, to present yourselves holy and chaste, and without fault in His sight."
