Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:15 Go To Colossians 1
Ignatius of Antioch
AD 108
Through grace, in one faith of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ His only-begotten Son, and "the first-born of every creature".
For I have observed that ye are perfected in an immoveable faith, as if ye were nailed to the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, both in the flesh and in the spirit, and are established in love through the blood of Christ, being fully persuaded, in very truth, with respect to our Lord Jesus Christ, that He was the Son of God, "the first-born of every creature"
