He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in
heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and
for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is
the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. Reconciled in Christ For
it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to
reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in
heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
Colossians 1:15-20
