 Kolossalaisille 1:15-17 Raamattu 1933/38 15 ja hän on näkymättömän Jumalan kuva, esikoinen ennen kaikkea luomakuntaa. 16 Sillä hänessä luotiin kaikki, mikä taivaissa ja mikä maan päällä on, näkyväiset ja näkymättömät, olkoot ne valtaistuimia tai herrauksia, hallituksia tai valtoja, kaikki on luotu hänen kauttansa ja häneen, 17 ja hän on ennen kaikkia, ja hänessä pysyy kaikki voimassa.

Colossians 1:15-17 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
15 [Now] He is the [a]exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
16 For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).Footnotes

Colossians 1:15-17 New Living Translation
Christ Is Supreme
15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
    He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,[a]
16 for through him God created everything
    in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
    and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
    Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
    and he holds all creation together.
Footnotes 1:15 Or He is the firstborn of all creation.

Colossians 1:15-17 New International Version
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
