¹⁶ For ^(A)by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ^(B)dominions or ^[a]principalities or ^[b]powers. All things were created ^(C)through Him and for Him. ^17 (D)And He is before all things, and in Him ^(E)all things consist.

¹² saying with a loud voice:

The Eternal Word^(A)

1 In the beginning ^(B)was the Word, and the ^(C)Word was ^(D)with God, and the Word was ^(E)God. ^2 (F)He was in the beginning with God. ^3 (G)All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

⁷ saying with a loud voice, ^(A)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^(B)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

⁶ and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, ^(A)who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, ^(B)that there should be delay no longer,

³⁶ For ^(A)of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, ^(B)to whom be glory forever. Amen.
