12 May you joyfully give thanks to the Father who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy in light.
13 He has saved us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation;
16 for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, both visible and invisible, whether thrones or lordships or archangels or powers \'97 all things have been created through him and for him,
17 and he is before all things and in him all things unite.
