Bible: Col. 1:18, 24; 2:19

1:18 He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn 1  from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things. 2 

1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body – for the sake of his body, the church – what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.

2:19 The Lord God formed 1  out of the ground every living animal of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would 2  name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
