Colossians 1:12-18 (Epistle, Image)
- 12
- giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
- 13
- He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
- 14
- in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
- 15
- He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
- 16
- For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
- 17
- And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
- 18
- And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
