International Standard Version
Colossians 1:18-20
International Standard Version
18 He is also the head of the body,
which is the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
so that he himself might have first place in everything.
19 For God[a] was pleased to have
all of his divine essence[b] inhabit him.
20 Through the Son,[c] God[d] also reconciled all things to himself,
whether things on earth or things in heaven,
thereby making peace
through the blood of his cross.
