NASB
"He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything."
— Colossians 1:18, NASB
“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.”
“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. ”
“He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
“He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things.”
“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy:”
“And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.”
“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.”
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him.
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,
and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
