16 Sest Tema läbi on loodud kõik, mis on taevastes ja mis on maa peal, mis nähtav ja nähtamatu, olgu aujärjed, ülemused, valitsused, võimud; kõik on loodud Tema läbi ja Temasse;

17 ja Tema Ise on enne kõiki, ja kõik püsivad koos Tema sees;

18 ja Tema on ihu — see on Koguduse — pea; Ta on algus ja esmasündinu surnutest, et Ta kõiges saaks esikohale.

16 For by him all things were made, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, authorities, lords, rulers, and powers; all things were made by him and for him;

17 He is before all things, and in him all things have being.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.
