preeminence For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no {preeminence} above a beast: for all [is] vanity. preeminence And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things] he might have the {preeminence}. preeminence <3JO1 -9> I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the {preeminence} among them, receiveth us not. ~~~~~~
