OET (OET-LV)And he is before all things, and all the things in him has_consisted.

OET (OET-RV)He came before everything and everything still only exists because of him.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

αὐτός ἐστιν πρὸ πάντων

he is before all_‹things›

The word before refers to time, not location. It means that the Son did not come into being when God created everything, but rather he existed as God before anything was created. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to prior time. Alternate translation: “before God created anything, the Son existed as God”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὰ πάντα ἐν αὐτῷ συνέστηκεν

the_‹things› all in him /has/_consisted

Paul is speaking here as if all created things hold together because they are inside the Son. By speaking in this way, Paul means that everything that God created continues to exist because the Son actively works to preserve everything. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “he controls everything so that it works the way it should” or “he is the one who makes sure everything has its proper place”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:15-20 Paul presents Jesus as the supreme creator (1:15-17) and redeemer (1:18-20). The series of short statements, the exalted conceptions of Christ, and the parallelism in language and thought strongly suggest that these verses quote an early Christian hymn about Jesus that Paul applied to the situation of the Colossian Christians.

OET (OET-RV)He came before everything and everything still only exists because of him.
