Colossians 1:13-20

13who deliveredG4506 us out of the powerG1849 of darknessG4655, and translated us into the kingdomG932 of the SonG5207 of his loveG26; 14in whom we have our redemptionG629, the forgivenessG859 of our sinsG266: 15who isG1510 the imageG1504 of the invisibleG517 GodG2316, the firstbornG4416 of all creationG2937; 16for in him were all thingsG3956 created, in the heavensG3772 and upon the earthG1093, thingsG3956 visible and thingsG3956 invisibleG517, whether thronesG2362 or dominions or principalities or powersG1849; all thingsG3956 have been created through him, and unto him; 17and he isG1510 before all thingsG3956, and in him all thingsG3956 consist. 18And he isG1510 the headG2776 of the bodyG4983, the churchG1577: who isG1510 the beginning, the firstbornG4416 from the deadG3498; that in all thingsG3956 he might have the preeminence. 19For it was the good pleasureG2106 of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwellG2730; 20and through him to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 unto himself, having made peace through the bloodG129 of his crossG4716; through him, I say, whether thingsG3956 upon the earthG1093, or thingsG3956 in the heavensG3772.
