Colossians 1:15-17
151He is the 2image of the 3invisible God, the 4firstborn of all creation.
16For 56by Him all things were created, 7both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether 8thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--9all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17He 1011is before all things, and in Him all things 12hold together.
