And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all things he may have the pre-eminence.

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And ye are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:

And not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
