12 Giving thanks unto the Father, who hath made us meet to partake of the inheritance of the saints in light.

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of every creature.

16 For through him were created all things, that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible; whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him and for him.

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist, And he is the head of his body the church;
