“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for
him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” - Col 1:12-17
