Colossians 1:12-29 - [Verse 15 in Original Greek]

12 giving thanks to the ^R30 Father, who has qualified us to ^F18 share in the ^R31 inheritance of the saints ^F19 in Light. ^R32 13 For ^F20 He rescued us from the domain ^{F21 R33} of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His ^{F22 R34} beloved Son, 14 in ^R35 whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He ^F23 is the image ^R36 of the invisible ^R37 God, the firstborn ^R38 of all creation. 16 For by ^{F24 R39} Him all things were created, {both} ^R40 in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones ^R41 or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is ^{F25 R42} before all things, and in Him all things hold ^F26 together. 18 He is also head ^R43 of the ^R44 body, the church; and He is the ^R45 beginning, the ^R46 firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For it ^F27 was the ^R47 {Father's} good pleasure for all the ^R48 fullness ^F28 to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile ^R49 all things to Himself, having made peace ^R50 through the ^R51 blood of His cross; through Him, {I say,} whether ^R52 things on earth or things in heaven. ^F29 21 And although you were formerly ^R53 alienated and hostile in mind, {engaged} in evil deeds, 22 yet He has now reconciled ^R54 you in His fleshly body ^R55 through death, in order to present ^R56 you before Him holy ^R57 and blameless and beyond reproach-- 23 if indeed you continue in the ^F30 faith firmly established ^R58 and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope ^R59 of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in ^R60 all creation under heaven, and ^R61 of which I, Paul, was ^F31 made a minister. ^{F32 R62} 24 Now ^R63 I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I ^R64 do ^F33 my share on behalf of His ^R65 body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in ^F34 Christ's afflictions. 25 Of ^R66 {this church} I was ^F35 made a minister according to the stewardship ^R67 from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully ^F36 carry out the {preaching of} the word of God, 26 {that is,} the ^R68 mystery which has been hidden from the {past} ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, ^F37 27 to whom God ^R69 willed to make known what is the ^R70 riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ ^R71 in you, the hope ^R72 of glory. 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing ^R73 every man and teaching every man with ^F38 all wisdom, ^R74 so that we may present ^R75 every man complete ^{F39 R76} in Christ. 29 For this purpose also I labor, ^R77 striving ^R78 according ^R79 to His power, ^F40 which mightily ^F41 works within me.

Col 1-15-19 is another great example of Nicene Creed Bias of making Jesus not real.
