Colossians 1:12–20

^12bGiving thanks unto the Father, which hath ^cmade us meet to be ^dpartakers of ^dthe inheritance of the saints in light: ¹³Who hath ^edelivered us from ^fthe power of ^gdarkness, and hath translated us ^hinto the kingdom of ^†his ⁱdear Son: ^14jIn whom we have redemption ^kthrough his blood, even ^lthe forgiveness of sins: 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.
