Your faith and love have arisen from the hope laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, the gospel

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.

and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross – through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
