His Son paid the price to free us, which means that our sins are forgiven.¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶ He created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.  
Whether they are kings or lords, rulers or powers—everything has been created through him and for him.

(Colossians 1:14-16 -- GW)
