Colossians 1:15 meaning and explanation
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Colossians 1:15, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul writes to a church he has not visited, likely from prison, and here he turns from thanksgiving to a hymn about the Son. "Image" translates the Greek eikōn, meaning a visible representation of what cannot be seen; to look at the Son is to see the God no eye can see.
