He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him were created all

things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or

principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things,

and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning,

the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. For in him all the

fullness  was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by

the blood of his cross  (through him), whether those on earth or those in heaven.  Col 1: 15-20
