Colossians 1:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 1:13

11 ^astrengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, ^bfor all patience and longsuffering ^cwith joy;

12 ^agiving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of ^bthe inheritance of the saints in the light.

13 He has delivered us from ^athe power of darkness ^band conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

14 ^ain whom we have redemption¹ through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is ^athe image of the invisible God, ^bthe firstborn over all creation.

16 For ^aby Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ^bdominions or principalities or² powers. All things were created ^cthrough Him and for Him.

17 ^aAnd He is before all things, and in Him ^ball things consist.

18 And ^aHe is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, ^bthe firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Reconciled in Christ

19 For it pleased the Father that ^ain Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and ^aby Him to reconcile ^ball things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, ^chaving made peace through the blood of His cross.

21 And you, ^awho once were alienated and enemies in your mind ^bby wicked works, yet now He has ^creconciled

22 ^ain the body of His flesh through death, ^bto present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—
