Colossians 1:15-20 CEV

¹⁵Christ is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation.
¹⁶Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him.
¹⁷God's Son was before all else, and by him everything is held together.
¹⁸He is the head of his body, which is the church. He is the very beginning, the first to be raised from death, so that he would be above all others.
¹⁹God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son.
²⁰And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God.
