"... the firstborn over all
creation. 16 For in him all things
were created: things in heaven and
on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or
rulers or authorities; all things have
been created through him and for
him. 17 He is before all things, and in
him all things hold together."

Col 2:88 See to it that no one takes
you captive through hollow
and deceptive
philosophy, which depends on
human tradition and the
elemental spiritual forces of
this world rather than on
Christ.
"Forgiveness does not mean that one ceases to feel the hurt and pain associated with someone's failing, but it means that one forfeits their right to express anger, to parade their hurt, and to demand reparation. Forgiveness, as initiated by the wounded party, remains and expression of the divine character and becomes a trait that makes the new covenant community stand out among the cycle of resentment and revenge that typifies human relationships."
