'Off' in the Bible

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father.

who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Therefore, stripping off falsehood, "let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor," for we belong to one another.

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
