18And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things — himself — first,


In Context

15 who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

16 because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

17 and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.

18 And himself is the head of the body — the assembly — who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things — himself — first,

19 because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,

20 and through him to reconcile the all things to himself — having made peace through the blood of his cross — through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens.
