The Head of the House
Colossians 1:13-23
Colossians 1:13-23
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or authorities;
all things have been created
through him and for him.
17 He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead,
so that in everything
he might have the supremacy.
19 For God was pleased to have
all his fullness dwell in him
20 and through him to reconcile
to himself all things,
whether things on earth
or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.
22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—
23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.
This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven,
and of which I, Paul,
have become a servant.
