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.
