All things created by Christ.

14 noteIn whome we haue redemption through
his blood, that is, the forgiuenesse of sinnes,
15 noteWho is the note image of the inuisible God,
note the first begotten of euery creature.
16 noteFor by him were all things created, which
are in heauen, and which are in earth, thinges visible
and inuisible: whether they be note Thrones or
Dominions, or Principalities, or Powers, all things
were created by him, and for him,
17 And hee is before all things, and in him all
things consist.
18 noteAnd hee is the head of the body of the
Church: he is the beginning, note and the note first begotten
of the dead, that in all thinges hee might
haue the preeminence.
19 noteFor it pleased the Father, that in him
should note all fulnesse dwell,
20 noteAnd through peace made by that blood
of that his crosse, to reconcile to himselfe through
him, through him, I say, note all thinges, both which
are in earth, and which are in heauen.
21 noteAnd you which were in times past strangers
and enemies, because your mindes were set in
The rest of Christs afflictions.
euill workes, hath note he nowe also reconciled,
22 In that body of his note flesh through death, to
make you holy, and vnblameable and without
fault in his sight,
23 noteIf ye continue, grounded and stablished
in the faith, & be not moued away from the hope
of the Gospel, whereof ye haue heard, and which
hath bene preached to note euery creature which is
vnder heauen, note whereof I Paul am a minister.
24 Now reioyce I in my suffrings for note you, and
fulfill the note rest of the afflictions of Christ in my
flesh, for his bodies sake, which is the Church,
25 noteWhereof I am a minister, according to
the dispensation of God, which is giuen mee vnto
you ward, to fulfill the word of God,
26 noteWhich is the mysterie hid since the world
began, and from all ages, but nowe is made manifest
to his note Saintes,
27 To whome God note woulde make knowen
what is the riches of his glorious mysterie among
the Gentiles, which riches is Christ in you, the
hope of glory,
28 noteWhome we preache, admonishing euery
man, & teaching euery man in note all wisdome, that
we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus,
29 Whereunto I also labour & striue, according
to his working which worketh in me mightily.
