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 

1:19 For God ³  was pleased to have all his ⁴  fullness dwell ⁵  in the Son ⁶ 

1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross – through him, ⁷  whether things on earth or things in heaven.

1:21 And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your ⁸  minds ⁹  as expressed through ¹⁰  your evil deeds, 1:22 but now he has reconciled you ¹¹  by his physical body through death to present you holy, without blemish, and blameless before him – 1:23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, ¹²  without shifting ¹³  from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.
