* who is a likeness of the God of that unseen , first –born of every creation ; Colossians * because in him were created the things all , the things in the heavens and the things on the earth , the things seen and the things unseen , whether thrones , or lordships , or governments , or authorities ; the things all on account of him and for him have been created ; * and he is in advance of all , and the things all in him has been placed together ; Colossians * and he is the head of the body , of the congregation ; who is a beginning , first –born out of the dead ones , so that he might become among all himself pre –eminent ; * because in him it was thought good all the fulness to inhabit , * and by means of him to reconcile the things all to him , having made peace by means of the blood of the cross of him , by means of him , whether the things on the earth , or the things in the heavens . * Even you , once being aliens and enemies in the mind by the works those wicked , now indeed he reconciled , * in the body of the flesh of himself by means of the death , to present you holy ones and blameless ones and irreproachable ones in presence of him ; * if indeed you continue in the faith having been grounded and settled ones , and not being moved away from the hope of the glad tidings of which you heard , of that having been published in all the creation that under the heaven ; of which became I Paul a servant .
