Who is the
image of the
invisible God, the
firstborn of
every creature:

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:

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.

whether they be things
in earth, or things
in heaven.
