Colossians 1:13-19

13He rescued us from the domain of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son whom He loves.

14In Him we have redemption—the release of sins.

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16For by Him all things were created— in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, whether thrones or angelic powers or rulers or authorities. All was created through Him and for Him.

17He exists before everything, and in Him all holds together.

18He is the head of the body, His community. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead— so that He might come to have first place in all things.

19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him
