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
