Colossians 1:15-20

[Christ] is the visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for by him all things were created, everything in heaven and everything on earth. He created the things we can see, and the things we cannot see, whether thrones or kingdoms or rulers or authorities. Everything was created by him and for him. He existed before anything else, and all things are held together in him. He is the head of the body, the church. He is the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have preeminence. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile all things to himself, and through him to make peace through the blood of his cross, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
