John 1:1 (NIV) In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing
was made that has been made.
Col 1:15 (NIV) He is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven
and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones
or powers or rulers or authorities; all things
were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
