Colossians 1:18

²²He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, ²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

⁵and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

¹⁵but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ, ¹⁶from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

²⁰But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. ²¹For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. ²²For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. ²³But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming.

²³how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”

¹⁸Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

²⁷I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

³But I would have you know that the head^[+] of every man is Christ, and the head^[+] of the woman is man, and the head^[+] of Christ is God.

¹³I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. ²⁶Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
