[15] Who the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: [16] For by him 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: [17] And he before all things, and by him all things consist. [18] And he the head of the body, the church: who the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. [19] For it pleased the Father that in him all fulness dwell; [20] 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. [21] And sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, [22] In the body of his flesh through death, to present holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: [23] ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; [24] Who now rejoice in sufferings for and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in flesh his body's sake, the church: [25] Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given for to fulfil the word of God; [26] Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but is made manifest to his saints: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory mystery among the Gentiles; which Christ in the hope of glory: [28] Whom preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ
