| 12 | That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: | that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. | eravate in quel tempo senza Cristo, estranei dalla cittadinanza d'Israele e estranei ai patti della promessa, non avendo speranza ed essendo senza Dio nel mondo. |
| 13 | But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. | But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ. | Ma ora, in Cristo Gesù, voi che un tempo eravate lontani, siete stati avvicinati per mezzo del sangue di Cristo. |
