Colossians 1:18 Context
16For by him were all things created that are in heauen, and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And hee is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the first borne from the dead, that in all things he might haue the preeminence: 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulnesse dwell, 20And (hauing made peace through the blood of his crosse) by him to reconcile all things vnto himself, by him, I say, whether they bee things in earth, or things in heauen.
