Colossians 1:11-20

New King James Version

^11 (A)strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, ^(B)for all patience and longsuffering ^(C)with joy; ^12 (D)giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of ^(E)the inheritance of the saints in the light. ¹³ He has delivered us from ^(F)the power of darkness ^(G)and ^[a]conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, ^14 (H)in whom we have redemption ^[b]through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

¹⁵ He is ^(I)the image of the invisible God, ^(J)the firstborn over all creation. ¹⁶ For ^(K)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ^(L)dominions or ^[c]principalities or ^[d]powers. All things were created ^(M)through Him and for Him. ^17 (N)And He is before all things, and in Him ^(O)all things consist. ¹⁸ And ^(P)He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, ^(Q)the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Reconciled in Christ

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that ^(R)in Him all the fullness should dwell, ²⁰ and ^(S)by Him to reconcile ^(T)all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, ^(U)having made peace through the blood of His cross.
