the ApOStLE pAul, in His LEttERtO the cOLOSSiANS:
“Giving thanks to the Father,
who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
who has delivered us from the power of darkness,
and has brought us into the kingdom of His dear Son:
In Him we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by Him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
All things were created by Him and for Him, and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
And He is the head of His Body, the Church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things He might have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell;
and, having made peace through the blood of his Cross, by Him to reconcile all things to Himself;
by Him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.”
-Colossians 1:12-20
