For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.

The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.—Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.—Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.—For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.—And you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.—And from his fullness we have all received.

“Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.”

Men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.—That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

“See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.—He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe.
