Colossians:1:15-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
who is the image of the invisible God ,
the firstborn of all creation ;
*
for in him were all things created ,
in the heavens and on the earth ,
things visible and things invisible ,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers ;
all things have been created through him ,
and to 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 might have the preeminence .
*
For it was the good pleasure [
of the Father ]
that in him should all the fullness dwell ;
*
and through him to reconcile all things to himself ,
having made peace through the blood of his cross ;
through him ,
whether things on the earth ,
or things in the heavens .
*
And you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
being in time past alienated and enemies in your {+}
mind in your {+}
evil works ,
*
yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death ,
to present you (
note :){+}(:
note )
holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him :
*
if indeed you (
note :){+}(:
note )
continue in the faith ,
grounded and steadfast ,
and not moved away from the hope of the good news which you {+}
heard ,
which was preached in all creation under heaven ;
of which I Paul was made a servant .
