Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

He completely erased that list of rules and requirements that were working against us — you know, all the stuff we could never measure up to. He took that whole record of our failures and nailed it to the cross with him.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus didn't just forgive your mess-ups — he literally destroyed the evidence.
