In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sin, according to the riches of His grace.
In Him was life and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overpower it.
He became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.
In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... For in Him all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority.
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason, God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
He abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
He is the radiance of God's glory, and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things things by the word of His power.
He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him because He always lives to make intercession for them.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
He is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.
His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems... He is clothed in robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "King of kings, and Lord of lords."
He loves us and released us from our sins by His blood and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to God and Father - to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
