13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins;
15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16. For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him.
17. And he is before all, and by him all things consist.
18. And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:
19. Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;
20. And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.
21. And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:
22. Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:
23. If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.
