because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

and through him to reconcile the all things to himself -- having made peace through the blood of his cross -- through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.

The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens.
