Colossians 1:17 - Compare All Versions

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

He is before all things,  and by him all things  hold together.

and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] [Prov 8:22-31]

He himself is before all things and all things are held together in him.
