Colossians 1:17 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And by him all things consist— This is a new argument which St. Paul uses, to prove the super-eminent dignity and authority of Christ; namely, that as the Father made all things by him, so he upholds and preserves all things by him too. The same is asserted, Hebrews 1:3 where he is said to uphold all things by the word of his power.

Colossians 1:17

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
