"For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell; "
— Colossians 1:19, American Standard Version
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;”
“For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;”
“For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son”
“Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell:”
“For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;”
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;”
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;
and he is before all things, and in 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 was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell;
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.
And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,
yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:
