Baverset oyo Eyebani Mpenza ewuti na Colossians 1

He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son he loves

for all things in heaven and on earth were created by him – all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers – all things were created through him and for him.

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

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation

For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects – bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God
