Colossians 1: 15 - 20
|
| 15
|
He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation;
|
| 16
|
for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities -- all things were created through him and for him.
|
| 17
|
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
|
| 18
|
He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent.
|
| 19
|
For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell,
|
| 20
|
and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
