Colossians 1:18 in Context — Colossians 1
16 porque nele foram criadas todas as coisas que há nos céus e na terra, visíveis e invisíveis, sejam tronos, sejam domínios, sejam governos, sejam autoridades; todas as coisas foram criadas por ele e para ele.
17 Ele existe antes de todas as coisas, e nele todas as coisas se mantêm.
18 E ele é a cabeça do corpo, da Igreja; ele é o princípio [e] o primogênito dentre os mortos, para que tenha a primazia entre todos.
19 Pois foi do agrado [do Pai] que toda a plenitude habitasse nele;
20 e, havendo por ele feito a paz pelo sangue da sua cruz, por meio dele reconciliasse consigo mesmo todas as coisas, tanto as que estão na terra, como as que estão nos céus.
