Colossians:1:15-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
who is the image of the invisible God ,
the First-born of all creation .
*
For all things were created in Him ,
the things in the heavens ,
and the things on the earth ,
the visible and the invisible ;
whether thrones ,
or lordships ,
or rulers ,
or authorities ,
all things have been created through Him and for Him .
*
And He is before all things ,
and all things consist in Him .
*
And He is the Head of the body ,
the church ,
who is the Beginning ,
the First-born from the dead ,
that He be preeminent in all things ;
*
because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him ,
*
and through Him making peace by the blood of His cross ,
to reconcile all things to Himself ;
through Him ,
whether the things on the earth ,
or the things in the heavens .
*
And you then being alienated and enemies in your mind by evil works ,
yet now He reconciled
*
in the body of His flesh ,
through death ,
to present you holy and without blemish and without charge before Him ,
*
if indeed you continue in the faith grounded and settled and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard proclaimed in all the creation under Heaven ,
of which I ,
Paul ,
became a minister .
