and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
