    • B 15 Who is the image of the invisible God,
      • C the firstborn of every creature (all creation):
        • D 16 For by him were all things created,
          • E that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers
        • D' all things were created by him, and for him:
      • C' 17-18 And he is before all things, 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 might have the preeminence.
        • a 17 And he is before all things,
          • b and by him all things consist.
          • b' 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,
        • a' that in all things he might have the preeminence.
    • B' 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
  • A' 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
