Colossians 1:18-20

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁸ And He Himself is the head of the body, the church.

The Son Is First In Everything, Because God Reconciled All Things Through Him

... Who is the beginning^[a], the firstborn from the dead, in order that He Himself might come-to-be holding-first-place in all things, ¹⁹ because the Father^[b] was well-pleased that all the fullness^[c] should dwell in Him ²⁰ and that He should reconcile all things through Him to Himself, having made-peace through the blood of His cross— through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
