16 Everything was created by him,
everything in heaven
    and on earth,
everything seen and unseen,
including all forces
    and powers,
and all rulers
    and authorities.
All things were created
    by God's Son,
and everything was made
    for him.

17 God's Son was before all else,
and by him everything

    which is the church.

the first to be raised
    from death,
so that he would be
    above all others.
