Colossians 1:13-17

New American Standard Bible

The Incomparable Christ

^13 [a]For He rescued us from the ^[b](A)domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of ^[c](B)His beloved Son, ^14 (C)in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

^15 [d]He is the ^(D)image of the ^(E)invisible God, the ^(F)firstborn of all creation: ¹⁶ for ^[e](G)by Him all things were created, ^(H)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether ^(I)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—^(J)all things have been created through Him and for Him. ¹⁷ He ^[f](K)is before all things, and in Him all things ^[g]hold together.
