11 Strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
13 Who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 In whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
16 For in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
17 And he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it was the good pleasure `of the Father' that in him should all the fulness dwell;
20 And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, `I say', whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.
