Colossians 1:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].

¹⁹ For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him ^[a]permanently.

²⁰ And God purposed that through (^[b]by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] all things should be completely reconciled ^[c]back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace by means of the blood of His cross.
