Colossians 1:13-17
Colossians 1:13
He rescued us from the tyranny of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Colossians 1:14
through whom we have been set free and our sins forgiven.
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the visible picture of the invisible God. He was before all creation,
Colossians 1:16
for everything was created through him—in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, empires, rulers, leaders and authorities—everything was created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:17
He existed before everything, and he holds everything together.
