^{13 Ref} who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

^{14 Ref} in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

^{15 Ref} who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

^{16 Ref} for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

^{17 Ref} and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.

^{18 Ref} And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

^{19 Ref} For it was the good pleasure `of the Father' that in him should all the fulness dwell;

^{20 Ref} and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, `I say', whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
