Colossians 1-16-18 KJV--16-- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers- all things were created by him, and for him---17-- And he is before all things, and by 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 might have the preeminence.
