16 because by means of him+ all [other]* things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.+ All [other] things have been created through him+ and for him.

22 He is at God’s right hand,+ for he went his way to heaven; and angels+ and authorities and powers were made subject to him.+
