For ^[x](am)by Him all things were created, ^(an)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether ^(ao)thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—^(ap)all things have been created through Him and for Him.

He is also ^(ar)head of ^(as)the body, the church; and He is ^(at)the beginning, ^(au)the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
