 What a beautiful passage! 🙏

Here's the breakdown of the phrase "to gather together in one all things in Christ" in multiple languages:

1. Portuguese: De tornar a congregar em Cristo todas as coisas, na dispensacao da plenitude dos tempos...
2. Spanish: Para reunir nuevamente todas las cosas en Cristo, en la dispensacin del cumplimiento de los tiempos...
3. French: Rassembler nouveau toutes choses en Christ, dans la dispensation de la plénitude des temps...
4. Italian: Riunire nuovamente tutte le cose in Cristo, nella dispensazione della pienezza dei tempi...
5. English: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth...

7. Swahili: Kuleta pamoja vitu vyote katika Kristo tena, katika kipindi cha utimilifu wa nyakati...

The passage is from Ephesians 1:10 (English translation), which says:

"That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth: even God, will, be all in all."

This verse speaks about God's plan to bring everything under Jesus' rule, including all things in heaven (angels, heavenly beings) and all things on earth (humanity, creation). It's a beautiful passage that highlights the ultimate goal of redemption – to have all things reconciled and united in Christ. 🌟
