CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible Quotes

“He is the image of the invisible God, x the firstborn over all creation. y 16 For everything was created by him, z in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through him and for him. a 17 He is before all things, b and by him all things c hold together. 18 He is also the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, d the firstborn from the dead, e so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness f dwell in him, g 20 and through him to reconcile everything to himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace h through his blood, i shed on the cross.”
