Colossians 1:15

¹³ He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

¹⁶ For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

¹⁷ He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
