Colossians 1:15-20
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all
things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones
or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for
him. 17. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is
the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God
was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether
on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Colossians 1:21-23
And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has
now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and
blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith,
stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which
has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a
minister.
