Colossians 1:12-17

21st Century King James Version

¹² giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.

¹³ He hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son,

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.

¹⁶ For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are on 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.
