Colossians 1:15–23

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 ^ksometime ^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;
