Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³[The Father] has delivered and ^[a]drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son ^[b]of His love,

¹⁴In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.

¹⁵[Now] He is the ^[c]exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
