Colossians 1:17-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁷ He exists before everything,
    and in Him all holds together.
¹⁸ He is the head of the body, His community.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead—
    so that He might come to have first place in all things.
¹⁹ For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him^[a]
