Colossians 1:12-17
Christian Standard Bible
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you[a] to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.(A) 13 He has rescued(B) us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom(C) of the Son(D) he loves.(E) 14 In him we have redemption,[b] the forgiveness of sins.
The Centrality of Christ
15 He is the image of the invisible God,(F)
the firstborn over all creation.(G)
16 For everything was created by him,(H)
in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities—
all things have been created through him and for him.(I)
17 He is before all things,(J)
and by him all things(K) hold together.
