11 enabled with all power, according to his glorious might, for all steadfastness and patience with joy,
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13 who has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have the redemption, the forgiveness of sins,
15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,
16 because all things in the heavens and on the earth were created by him, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through him and for him,
17 and he himself is before all things, and in him all things are held together,
