Christ is the image of the invisible God,
the first born over all Creation;
For in him all things were made, in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities,
All things were created through him and for him.
Christ is before all things and in him all things hold together.
He is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the first born from among the dead,
that in everything he might be pre-eminent.
In him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
and through him to reconcile to himself all things,
whether things on earth or things in heaven,
Making peace by the blood of his cross.
Colossians 1:15-20
