15 ... Who is the image[a] of the invisible God, the firstborn[b] of [c] all creation[d], 16 because all things were created by[e] Him in the heavens and on the earth, the visible things and the invisible things— whether thrones or lordships or rulers or authorities. All things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 And He Himself is before all things, and all things have existence[f] in Him.
