Colossians 1:13-20

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Colossians 1:13-20

13He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.
19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,
20and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.
— Colossians 1:13-20
