Colossians 1:15-17 He is a visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ He is a visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; ¹⁶ for in him was the universe created, things in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen, thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; by him and for him all have been created; ¹⁷ and HE IS before all, and in him all things subsist.
