Colossians 1 — Context

Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

In whom we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:

Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;

For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

He is before all things, and in him all things have being.
