Colossians 1:16-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ for ^[a](A)by Him all things were created, ^(B)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether ^(C)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—^(D)all things have been created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ He ^[b](E)is before all things, and in Him all things ^[c]hold together. ¹⁸ He is also the ^(F)head of ^(G)the body, the church; and He is ^(H)the beginning, ^(I)the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. ¹⁹ For ^[d]it was ^(J)the Father’s good pleasure for all ^(K)the ^[e]fullness to dwell in Him, ²⁰ and through Him to ^(L)reconcile all things to Himself, ^(M)whether things on earth or things in ^[f]heaven, having made ^(N)peace through ^(O)the blood of His cross.
