| 18 And he is head of the body of the church; which is the beginning and the first begotten of dead men, that he hold the first dignity in all things [+the which is the beginning, or the first of all, and the first begotten of dead, that he be holding primacy, or the first dignity, in all things]. | 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. |
