“because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,”— Colossians 1:19 (LSV)
16because all things were created in Him, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him,
17and He is before all, and all things have consisted in Him.
18And He is the head of the body—the Assembly—who is a beginning, a firstborn out of the dead, that He might become first in all [things] Himself,
19because all the fullness was pleased to dwell in Him,
20and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself—having made peace through the blood of His Cross—through Him, whether the things on the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
21And you—once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now He reconciled,
22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before Himself,
