Colossians 1:12-16

12giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for sharing the portion of the saints in light,

13who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

15who is image of the invisible 1God, firstborn of all creation;

16because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.
