15who is mthe image of nthe invisible God, othe pfirstborn of every creature: 16for qby him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be qqthrones, or rdominions, or stprincipalities, or rspowers: qall things were created uvby him, and ufor him: 17and owhe is before all things, and qby him xall things xxconsist. 18And yhe is the head of the body, the church: owho is zthe beginning, zathe firstborn from the dead; that in ball things he might have the preeminence. 19For cit pleased the Father that din him should all efulness dwell; 20and, fhaving made peace gthrough the blood of his cross, hby him to reconcile ball things unto himself; by him, I say, iwhether they be things in earth, or jthings in heaven.

21kAnd you, that were ksometimes lalienated and menemies in your mind nby wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22oin the body of his flesh through death, pto present you holy and unblameable and qunreproveable in his sight: 23rif ye continue in the faith sgrounded and tsettled, and be not moved away from uthe hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and wwhich was preached xto every creature which is under heaven; ywhereof I Paul am made a minister;
