"For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son"
— Colossians 1:19, NET Bible
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;”
“For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell; ”
“For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;”
“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 all things in heaven and on earth were created in him– all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers– all things were created through him and for him.
He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.
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.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross– through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
Paul’s Goal in Ministry And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,
but now he has reconciled you by his physical body through death to present you holy, without blemish, and blameless before him–
