He
(Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For
by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (1 Colossians 1:15-17)
