Colossians 1:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 And He Himself is the head of the body, the church.
The Son Is First In Everything, Because God Reconciled All Things Through Him
... Who is the beginning[a], the firstborn from the dead, in order that He Himself might come-to-be holding-first-place in all things, 19 because the Father[b] was well-pleased that all the fullness[c] should dwell in Him 20 and that He should reconcile all things through Him to Himself, having made-peace through the blood of His cross— through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
