'Principalities' in the Bible

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual power of wickedness in the heavenlies.

because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

having spoiled principalities and authorities, he made a show of them publicly, leading them in triumph by it.
