Colossians 1:16-20

16ForG3754 byG1722 himG846 wereG2936 all thingsG3588G3956 createdG2936, that areG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772, andG2532 that areG3588 inG1909 earthG3588G1093, visibleG3588G3707 andG2532 invisibleG3588G517, whetherG1535 they be thronesG2362, orG1535 dominionsG2963, orG1535 principalitiesG746, orG1535 powersG1849: all thingsG3588G3956 were createdG2936 byG1223 himG846, andG2532 forG1519 himG846:

17AndG2532 heG846 isG1510 beforeG4253 all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1722 himG846 all thingsG3956 consistG4921.

18AndG2532 heG846 isG1510 the headG3588G2776 of the bodyG3588G4983, the AssemblyG3588G1577: whoG3739 isG1510 the beginningG746, the firstbornG4416 fromG1537 the deadG3498; thatG2443 inG1722 allG3956 things heG846 mightG1096 have the preeminenceG4409.

19ForG3754 it pleasedG2106 the Father that inG1722 himG846 shouldG2730 allG3956 fulnessG3588G4138 dwellG2730;

20AndG2532, having made peaceG1517 throughG1223 the bloodG3588G129 of hisG846 crossG3588G4716, byG1223 himG846 to reconcileG604 all thingsG3956 untoG1519 himselfG846; byG1223 himG846, I say, whetherG1535 they be thingsG3588 inG1909 earthG3588G1093, orG1535 thingsG3588 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772.
