Colossians 1:14-23

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. 21And you, beingG1510 in timeG4218 past alienated and enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 in your evilG4190 worksG2041, 22yet nowG1161 hath he reconciledG604 in the bodyG4983 of his fleshG4561 through deathG2288, to presentG3936 you holyG40 and without blemish and unreproveable before him: 23if so be that ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102, grounded and stedfast, and not moved awayG575 from the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098 which ye heardG191, which was preachedG2784 in all creationG2937 under heavenG3772; whereof I PaulG3972 was made a ministerG1249.
