King James Version
"And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
— Colossians 1:17, King James Version
“and he is before all things, and in him all things consist. ”
“He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.”
“He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.”
“And he is before all: and by him all things consist.”
“He is before all things, and in him all things have being.”
“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
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.
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
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.
